Kerlink and Tata Communications launch partnership to expand LoRaWAN network deployments

by

Kerlink, a specialist in solutions dedicated to the internet of things, and Tata Communications Transformation Services (TCTS), have formed a partnership to promote and deploy LoRaWAN IoT networks globally.

The partnership was announced at the LoRa Alliance three-day All Members Meeting in Berlin. LoRaWAN stands for long-range wide area network.

Kerlink and TCTS will demonstrate to telecom carriers, start-up IoT connectivity providers, cities and large multinationals how LoRa technology is one of the most responsive and reliable protocols for IoT connectivity.

Smart Parks uses advanced sensors to save endangered black rhinos. Fewer than 900 left

by

“Rhinos, people, vehicles and gates at a glance. Now that is useful!”

Over the past few months, Smart Parks has improved and expanded its current installation at the eastern black rhino sanctuary based in Mkomazi, Tanzania. (See video below.)

With a zero poaching track record and an increasing population, this sanctuary runs one of the most successful eastern black rhino breeding programs.

Since 2016 Smart Parks has been working on improving the security of this vulnerable species.  [Read more…] about Smart Parks uses advanced sensors to save endangered black rhinos. Fewer than 900 left

Adeunis and ARC Informatique partner to create new building management system solution with LoRaWAN at its heart

by

Two recognized players in IoT technologies are integrating their solutions to achieve IoT equipment integration with an existing building management system (BMS) using LoRaWAN technology at the heart.

The Grenoble Alpes University Hospital’s technical teams wanted to be able to instrument and control various equipment quickly, inexpensively and without cabling (Ethernet and power).

The Grenoble Hospital asked Adeunis and ARC Informatique the question of how to best solve this operational challenge.  [Read more…] about Adeunis and ARC Informatique partner to create new building management system solution with LoRaWAN at its heart

Hospital achieves IoT equipment integration with LoRaWAN

by

Two recognized players in IoT technologies, Adeunis and ARC Informatique, are integrating their solutions to achieve unprecedented IoT equipment integration with an existing Building Management System (BMS) using LoRaWAN technology at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital.

The Grenoble Alpes University Hospital´s technical teams wanted to be able to monitor and control various pieces of equipment quickly, inexpensively and without cabling (Ethernet and power). The Grenoble Hospital asked Adeunis and ARC Informatique the question of how to best solve this operational challenge.

In addition, the Hospital wanted to use their existing BMS software without adding additional software layers. PcVue supervision from ARC Informatique, is the BMS in charge of managing two of the Hospital´s sites, the GTB and the GTE site.

Lacuna Space extends LoRaWAN network global coverage with satellite connectivity

Semtech, a supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, and Lacuna Space announced its collaboration with key industry leaders, including the European Space Agency and Parametric, to extend a LoRaWAN network by providing satellite connectivity to fill voids between the terrestrial gateways out of cellular reach and give continuous global coverage.

Lacuna Space uses a constellation of polar low-earth orbiting satellites to receive messages from sensors integrated with Semtech’s LoRa devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology) on the ground.  [Read more…] about LoRaWAN network now available to aliens as Semtech and Lacuna start receiving messages from space
