ON World: LPWAN Developers Prefer LoRa for Industrial IoT
Summary
“While other LPWAN technologies such as RPMA, SigFox, LTE-M and NB-IoT are or will have an impact on the industrial IoT landscape, LoRa stands out for its standards efforts, strong ecosystem with thousands of developers and recently announced products and services from ARM/SoftBank, Cisco, Comcast and Murata,” says Jeff Kreegar, ON World’s chief technologist. In general, industrial IoT applications require radio features such as adaptive power, over-the-air updates, robust in-building penetration and immunity against multipath fading. LoRa’s growing developer community includes industrial IoT leaders such as ARM (SoftBank), Cisco, IBM, Microchip and Murata as well as innovators such as Actility, Beep Networks, Kerlink, Link Labs, Multi-Tech Systems and OrbiWise. RPMA offers an exceptionally sensitive radio operating at the global 2.4GHz frequency that provide multi-mile network range, high gateway node densities and a distinguished technical development team. RPMA technology has been deployed in dozens of networks worldwide including distribution automation for San Diego Gas & Electric as well as wellhead monitoring and pipeline surveillance for Shell Nigeria.
