Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq:SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and
mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced that its LoRa®
wireless RF solution will be featured in the second global Internet
of Things (IoT) challenge presented by the LoRa Alliance™. The

Through November 1, companies can submit LoRaWAN™ solutions from
one of the four acceptable categories. Submissions should include a
description of the solution, including its benefits, how it is
implemented and used, as well as a prototype. Finalists will
receive travel and accommodations to Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona on February 27-March 2, 2017 where the winner will be
announced."Technology can play a critical role in improving the
lives of the most marginalized communities in the developing
world," said Safia Verjee, program manager in Disaster Risk
Management at the Kenya Red Cross. "LoRaWAN helps meet the price
points and requirements to scale solutions easily."
The LoRaWAN specification is based on Semtech’s LoRa two-way
wireless solution and is standardized by the LoRa Alliance. Its
purpose is to ensure interoperability of IoT solutions and
networks, low power, wide area connectivity, scalability and more.
Currently, the LoRa Alliance has over 300 members committed to
using and standardizing the LoRaWAN specification worldwide.
“After an overwhelming turnout for the Alliance’s first global
IoT challenge, we’re excited to host a second challenge, this time
with a different set of categories,” said Jaap Groot, Vice
President of Systems Business Development for Semtech’s Wireless
and Sensing Product Group and LoRa Alliance Marketing Committee
Member. “In addition to the commonly thought of smart home, smart
appliance and other high-end consumer applications for IoT
technologies, there is immense potential for LoRa and IoT to help
improve the lives of communities in the developing world. The
opportunity to pivot our resources and expertise toward helping
underserved communities through this collaboration with the Red
Cross in Kenya is a great step.”
In the last LoRa Alliance Global IoT Challenge, which received
submissions from over 200 companies around the world, finalists
presented innovative LoRa-based solutions that included a connected
home application, a shipping pallet tracker and a bed bug monitor
for hotels.
