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.

California-based chipmaker Semtech, which owns and licences the non-cellular low-power wide-area (LPWA) LoRa technology and LoRaWAN protocol, has released a software upgrade for LoRa integrated circuits (IC) and gateways to increase network capacity and performance, and enable direct data transmissions from IoT sensors to satellites. The software enhancement can be leveraged by second generation LoRa ICs to enable the new long-range (the expansion of the LoRa acronym, also) frequency-hopping spread spectrum (LR-FHSS) data rate on LoRaWAN networks, ratified in November by the LoRa Alliance.
