Overview of Swisscom Lorawan

Swisscom LoRaWan IoT provides complete integration with the Swisscom network Qualified before installation, which necessitates passing the ThingPark compatibility tests covered by this product. End users can be confident that a device complies with Swisscom LPN thanks to Swisscom IoT prequalification.

This was accomplished utilizing a Swisscom LoRaWAN certified CM radio module, passing radio performance testing and LPN compatibility tests. IoT Prequalification for Swisscom End customers can be confident that the communications module is Swisscom LoRaWAN compliant thanks to these approved devices.

Please be aware that only the RF compliance, not the end-to-end reliability, of the listed devices, has been tested; devices that are LoRaWAN compliant but are not listed in this catalog will still function with our Swisscom LPN LoRaWAN network even though they have not undergone a thorough testing process.

The LoRa Alliance, a group of organizations that supports the global low-power long-distance (LoRa) communication standard and offers IoT access for the Internet of Things – cars, smart cities, and industrial applications – developed and maintains the product, a low-power broadband radio network (LPWA) based on LoRaWAN.

To facilitate interoperability amongst operators within a single worldwide open standard, the Alliance aims to standardize LPWAN to cover IoT, M2M, intelligent cities, and industrial applications.

Its initial members were IBM, MicroChip, Cisco, Semtech, Bouygues Telecom, Singtel, KPN, Swisscom, Fastnet, and Belgacom. It includes about 400 member firms across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

It has a robust ecosystem of IoT platforms, system integrators, hardware manufacturers, developers, partners, and IoT solutions/technology providers. IoT devices in rural, remote, and offshore areas may connect over long distances at a reasonable cost, thanks to Lora and LoRaWAN. Essential IoT requirements, including mobile connectivity, location services, and secure two-way communication, are met by LoRaWAN. The Semtech Corporation and its subsidiaries own the registered trademarks or service mark Semtech, the Semtech logo, LoRa, and Swisscom LoRaWAN.

The usage guidelines for such goods and services, which are licensed directly and separately from each partner, may vary. Contact the relevant partner for license terms, price, and other information on such partner products and services.

Partners issue special licenses to buy or use their goods, services, and associated technology—devices from STMicroelectronics. The cooperation will constantly create cutting-edge services for developing markets, such as intelligent buildings or innovative city services.

By covering operational costs, boosting service standards, and encouraging new technological partnerships, Activity will use the money to further its market strategy for ThingPark, its open industry-standard IoT networking solution.

Endpoints in LoRaWAN networks may get the same Uplink message from one or more gateways numerous times, allowing the network server to update the endpoints on the designated channels (medium frequencies and data rates) during regular operation.

How is Lora gateway helpful?

In a LoRa network, radio modules called LoRa gateways act as communication channels between end devices and a LoRa gateway or loraWAN network server (LNS).

A LoRa gateway is usually utilized to send sensor data from an electrical device to the cloud. Only the communication between the corresponding end devices and the attached gateways is done using LoRa technology. LoRa gateways can be used to set up a network implementation of appropriate electrical equipment, particularly in locations where other forms of networks are not practical because of technological restrictions.

Conclusion

The LoRa Alliance is a coalition of companies that backs the LoRa communication standard and provides IoT access for the Internet of Things. Swisscom IoT prequalification enables end users to be sure that a device complies with Swisscom LPN. With the money, Activity will be able to progress its market strategy for ThingPark, pay for necessary operating expenses, raise service levels, and develop new business relationships.
