Semtech's LoRa Technology Integrated By Brazilian Vehicle Tracking Manufacturer
19 Abril 2017 - 7:00AM
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq:SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and
mixed-signal semiconductors, announced that Maxtrack, a leader in
vehicle tracker manufacturing, has chosen Semtech's LoRa® devices
and wireless RF technology ("LoRa Technology") as the main platform
for its tracking solution that helps recover stolen vehicles and
cargo.
The tracking system has been introduced in metropolitan areas of
Brazil where LoRaWAN™ networks are currently being deployed. The
aftermarket tracking solution is currently a preferred technology
for insurance companies to recover vehicles as they plan
implementation in mid-2017.
LoRa Technology provides a long-range, low-power wireless
platform that enables the connectivity of Internet of Things (IoT)
gateways and sensors. The integration of LoRa Technology provides
Maxtrack's customers with extended communication that reaches
beyond cellular networks and reduces the customer's total cost of
operation (TCO).
"Semtech's LoRa Technology helps differentiate us from our
competitors' solutions," said Gustavo Travassos, Chief Executive
Officer at Maxtrack. "The key benefits, including reducing the
total operation cost, minimizing the device size and simple
installation, has allowed us to better support our customers with a
superior tracking solution that they need."
"This use case for automobile applications demonstrates LoRa
Technology's ability to easily track valuable assets," said Vivek
Mohan, Director of Marketing for Semtech's Wireless and Sensing
Products Group. "With the growth of smart cities and asset tracking
applications, LoRa Technology is solving real-life problems with
leading technology while also improving operations and efficiencies
for solution providers."
Key Features of LoRa Technology:
- Long Range: A single base station using LoRa
Technology enables deep penetration capability for dense urban
environments and indoor coverage, while also providing the ability
to connect to sensors more than 15-30 miles away in rural
areas.
- Low Power: The LoRaWAN protocol was developed
specifically for low power and enables unprecedented battery
lifetime of up to 20 years depending on the application.
- Geolocation: Enables tracking applications
without GPS or additional power consumption.
- Low Cost: LoRa Technology reduces up front
infrastructure investments and operating costs, as well as end-node
sensor costs.
- Open Standard: The LoRaWAN protocol ensures
interoperability among applications, IoT solution providers and
telecom operators to speed adoption and deployment.
