Smart Supply Chain & Logistics
LoRa Technology makes it easy and affordable for smart supply chain and logistics to track highly valued assets that are in transit. Due to LoRa Technology’s long range and low power consumption qualities and GPS-free geolocation abilities, cargo, vehicles and other assets can be easily monitored over large geographic regions and within harsh environments.
Semtech’s LoRa Edge™ Tracker Reference Design is the physical manifestation of Semtech’s vision for a commercial asset management solution that is based on the three key elements of the LoRa Edge asset management solution – the LoRa Edge LR1110 transceiver, the embedded LoRa Basics™ Modem-E software and LoRa Cloud™ Geolocation and Device & Application Services. It is encapsulated in a sleek and streamlined commercial-ready product that demonstrates the complete set of asset tracking capabilities for IoT applications. It serves as a blueprint for customers looking to build an end-to-end tracker solution based on the LoRaWAN® protocol.
The LoRa Edge Tracker Reference Design provides device manufacturers and systems integrators creating asset location, asset traceability, asset loss and recovery, and geofencing applications with the following benefits:
-
Accelerate Time to Market – High-quality reference design of complete “track and trace” solution based on LoRa Edge LR1110 reduces research and development time when building a solution. The companion LoRa Edge Config Android and iOS app enables fast-track configuration and connectivity.
-
Reduce Design Complexity – The documented design journey includes performance reports and design files. Instant connectivity is available with LoRa Cloud services when using LoRa Basics Modem-E.
-
Decrease Development Cost – Ability to leverage the design of a complete tracker system without license fees. Reduce certification costs with a solution that is fully FCC certified. Save on the cost of an external secure element chip with LoRa Edge AES-128 bit compliant, FIPS-140 compliant, and is LoRaWAN CertifiedCM with LoRa Basics Modem-E.
