Semtech’s LoRa Technology Used by NNNCo to Develop Rural IoT Network for Australia’s Farmers
23 Junio 2017 - 7:00AM
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq:SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and
mixed-signal semiconductors, announced its collaboration with
National Narrowband Network Communications (NNNCo), a provider of
commercial-grade, low cost narrowband network connectivity for the
Internet of Things (IoT), to build a nationwide rural Internet of
Things (IoT) network to bring high-tech agriculture solutions to
Australian farmers.

The LoRaWAN™ open standard developed by the LoRa Alliance™ is
expected to help transform Australia’s farms, giving farmers
real-time data on soil moisture, rainfall, crops, water levels, and
livestock through a network of in situ low-cost wireless sensors.
One of the key comptabilities of a LoRaWAN is that it enables users
to communicate bi-directionally with sensors on an individual or
group level. The sensors use limited power and can operate ‘in the
field’ for years without the need for intervention. The farmer will
be able to make intelligent, sound decisions to drive multiple
functions, including irrigation, livestock feed stations, water
pumps, and emergency signals.
The LoRaWAN network will immediately cover one million acres of
farmland across rural New South Wales (NSW) which will encompass
dry land crops, horticulture and livestock and a number of rural
towns. Within 18 months, the plan is to extend broadly across
Australia.
“Semtech has been extremely successful in taking its unique
LoRa® devices and wireless RF technology (LoRa Technology) to the
global market through the LoRa Alliance, which is one of the
fastest growing industry alliances in history. The open nature of
this technology and the ability to truly innovate with it has
allowed NNNCo to drive the right partnerships in the right
industries, such as agriculture, to enable proliferation of sensors
and devices over carrier-grade networks at a price point that can
support volume,” said Rob Zagarella, Chief Executive Officer at
National Narrowband Network Communications.
“The NNNCo LoRaWAN network should rapidly increase the adoption
of smart agriculture and revolutionize the farming industry,” said
Mike Wong, Vice President for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing
Products Group. "With IoT device installations in the agriculture
industry expected to increase by up to 60% in 2020, there is
immense growth and opportunity for LoRa-enabled sensor
applications.”
