Most radio tech develops in similar ways. Initially, chips are focused on the radios and how they will communicate with each other; most of the upper-level software is left to developers. As time passes and the software needs are further refined, some of the upper-level software gets standardized and placed onto modems. That’s where we are with LoRa. Semtech and Murata have released a new LoRa modem that handles some of the connection to applications and other software on the same device. Read more
