New LoRaWAN™-based Network in Japan Now Open for Field Testing Internet of Things Applications
19 Julio 2016 - 7:00AM
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq:SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and
mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced that its LoRa®
wireless RF technology will be featured in a new low power, wide
area network (LPWAN) deployed by regional telecom carrier Nippon
Telegraph and Telephone West (NTT West) in the Kansai area of Japan
to field test a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications
such as smart metering and agriculture, system monitoring of
networks and equipment, asset and people tracking, and
environmental warning systems.

The purpose of the field trial is to test the commercial
feasibility of various IoT use cases on NTT West’s LoRaWAN™-based
LPWAN. Participants selected for inclusion in the field trial will
be able to deploy and test their applications on the NTT West
network. Semtech LoRa technology is a key component in the field
trial as participants will use sensors and data aggregation
services from members of the LoRa Alliance™ to ensure they are
LoRaWAN-compliant. Another goal of the trial program is to solicit
feedback from participating companies through information sharing
sessions, meetings and surveys.
“We are excited to launch our new LPWAN for field testing so
that we can validate various use cases for our network and collect
valuable information we can use to enhance our IoT offerings,” said
Shigenori HORI, Senior Manager of NTT West’s Business Design
Department. “After careful research, we chose a LoRaWAN-based
network platform because it offered a large ecosystem of open
standards-based solutions through the LoRa Alliance, while also
providing the long range and low power requirements our customers
need at a low cost. Now that we have launched the field trials, we
are looking forward to seeing and sharing the results.”
“It’s great to see a carrier like NTT West play a leadership
role in deploying and testing a LPWAN for IoT applications in
Japan,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice President and General Manager of
Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Product Group. “We are looking
forward to seeing the various IoT use cases that will be enabled by
this network. We are also pleased that after reviewing several
solutions, they chose a network based on the LoRaWAN specification,
which, through the LoRa Alliance, is quickly becoming a global
standard for IoT applications requiring long range, low power and
low cost.”
The LoRa Alliance, which was launched in March 2015, is a group
of over 300 companies committed to driving and enhancing the
LoRaWAN specification to ensure interoperability and scalability of
LPWANs and IoT applications. Through its work with member companies
and IoT industry groups, it is making LoRaWAN the standard for
LPWANs focused on low power, long range IoT applications. To date,
there are LoRaWAN public and private networks in more than 50
countries worldwide.
NTT West Field Trial Information The NTT field
trial period began at the end of June 2016 and will continue
through February 2017. It covers the Kansai area of western Japan.
