According to a recent article out of the company, “Mobiliya — a global provider of solutions and system integration for the connected ecosystem, today announced that it has become a member of the LoRa Alliance — a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the interoperability and standardization of low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies to drive the success of the Internet of Things. The U.S.-based software company looks forward to leveraging the alliance’s advanced global standards as well as collaborating with its member partners which include network providers, equipment manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, semiconductors and system integrators.”

The release continues, “IoT has enabled even the most low-powered devices to be connected to the Internet. LPWAN technologies allow long-range communication with such low-powered devices or battery-operated sensors at a low bit rate. LPWAN technologies have a much longer range than standard mobile networks, in addition to being low cost and having low power requirements. Thus, they can enable a much wider range of M2M, civic, commercial and industrial applications, which can otherwise be restricted due to budget or power constraints.”

It goes on, “Mobiliya is already implementing in the IoT space and addressing various problems in the field of energy, agriculture, healthcare, water management and industrial IoT. By joining the LoRa Alliance, Mobiliya intends to contribute towards developing robust solutions by leveraging LoRaWAN™, the Long Range WAN protocol promoted by the LoRa Alliance as an open global standard, which is being increasingly used during the process of drawing smart city plans, tracking lost objects or connecting to low power devices like underground water meters.”
