Viewing All LoRa Wireless RF
The University of British Columbia Improves Campus Parking and Waste Management With LoRa® Technology
To meet the needs of more than 60,000 students, the University of British Columbia (UBC) used a Canadian LoRaWAN® network provider to roll out its new smart campus solutions to help with waste management and the ever-annoying parking problem. Read more
Creating a smarter community
Whether it is a large city or a small town or village the idea of the smart city or community is gaining traction Read more
LoRa, NB-IoT Lead the Pack in LPWAN Race
LoRa and the NB-IoT will grab most of the long-range IoT network action through 2023, according to a new report. Read more
LoRa security camera using a MKR WAN 1300 base station
A new project has been published to the official Arduino blog this week providing insight into a new LoRa security camera and detection system that is capable of transmitting data when a trust parser is recognised. The system is also clever enough to ignore animals such as dogs that move into its field of view and will only trigger when it recognises a human figure. Watch the video below for a demonstration of its capabilities from its creator, Tegwyn Twmffat. Read more
Implementing IoT – overcoming barriers to commercial adoption
Tim Wright from the Institute of Telecoms Professionals reports from a recent seminar exploring questions around the barriers to commercial, at-scale adoption of the internet of things, and how to overcome them Read more
Antenna radiation plots - What do they mean?
Antennas are a fundamental component of any wireless RF solution. Both the most complex and the simplest wireless RF applications rely on antennas for end to end communication. The quality and performance of the antenna are critical to the correct operation of any wireless system, and it pays to specify it wisely. Selection is often left to the last minute, but design integration is key to getting the best deployment performance. Read more
LoRaWAN puts security first
Traditionally, security has been an afterthought in computer network designs, which has helped make many of them vulnerable to hacking. But the LoRaWAN low-power wide area network (LPWAN) provides an example of a network technology that was designed from the outset to take security into account. Read more
IoT gateways need standardisation: replace as required…
Who would want to be easily replaceable? But where x86 technology is concerned, this functionality has come a long way! Today, IoT gateway manufacturers are striving to raise the level of interchangeability further by standardising cloud communications. Read more
News IoT standards: the end game
“People often ask the question,” Cees Links, General Manager of RF & wireless semiconductor company, Qorvo’s Wireless Connectivity Business Unit tells us, “with all these IoT standards, which should I choose?” Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology? What about LoRa? Or is it better just to wait for 5G & NB-IoT? Read more
