Semtech Announces New Tool Suite Enabling Dense Deployments and Satellite Connectivity for LoRa
Semtech Corporation announced the release of a software upgrade for LoRa integrated circuits (ICs) and gateways that significantly increases network capacity, increases robustness to interference, and enables low-power and reliable direct data links from sensors to satellites. The software enhancement can be leveraged by second-generation LoRa ICs to enable the LoRaWAN standard new data rate, Long-Range Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (LR-FHSS), recently ratified by the LoRa Alliance.
