Technology IoT solutions for enterprises
Comcast today announced machineQ™, a new business trial venture

Comcast will use Semtech Corporation’s (NASDAQ: SMTC)
globally-proven LoRa® Wireless Radio Frequency Technology to deploy
network trials in Philadelphia and San Francisco later this year.
These trials will focus on enabling use cases such as utility
metering, environmental monitoring (e.g., temperature, pollution,
noise), and asset tracking through LoRa Technology-enabled devices
and network services. Organizations and enterprises interested in
participating in trials for LoRa-specific proof of concepts are
encouraged to contact Comcast here.
According to a 2016 study of the growth of the Internet of
Things (IoT) market by Machina Research, the total number of global
M2M connections will grow from 6 billion in 2015 to 27 billion in
2025, with 20 percent of these connections originating in the
United States. The global market is estimated to generate $3
trillion in revenue by 2025 with 22 percent ($660 billion)
originating in the United States. Machina’s study also indicates
that 11 percent of the connections by 2025 will use Low Power Wide
Area Network (LPWAN) connections such as LoRa.
"We believe the business-to-business segment of the Internet of
Things market is going to expand rapidly over the next decade
as businesses look to IoT-based technology to manage their
businesses in a more effective and sophisticated manner," said Sam
Schwartz, Chief Business Development Officer, Comcast Cable.
"Technologies such as LoRa are setting the stage for the era
of connected devices, and we think our network potentially has a
role to play in connecting the millions of internet-enabled devices
deployed within enterprises.”
Comcast has invested tens of billions of dollars to build
a network that spans 20 of the nation's top 30 markets.
It includes more than 149,000 route miles of fiber optic cable and
more than 500,000 miles of HFC plant that is in close proximity to
hundreds of thousands of businesses and city locations.
“The decision by Comcast to complement its existing
infrastructure with LoRa Technology will enable connected devices,
servers and software components to communicate seamlessly and
securely on its new LoRaWAN™-based IoT platform,” said Mohan
Maheswaran, Semtech’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Semtech is committed to working with Comcast to make LPWAN
networks broadly available in the United States. We believe this
will foster innovation by enterprises for new IoT solutions that
allows us all to benefit from the advantages of our emerging
connected world.”
If the initial trials are successful, Comcast intends to
commercially deploy LoRaWAN networks and LoRa-related services
across its markets, with the goal of completing commercial
deployments within the next 18 to 30 months.
