Semtech Releases a New Portfolio of Solutions, LoRa Edge™, to Simplify and Accelerate IoT Applications

First platform of the LoRa Edge portfolio is a geolocation solution revolutionizing IoT devices for asset management
Platform integrates an ultra-low power LoRa® transceiver, GNSS and Wi-Fi scanning technologies
Combining LoRa Edge solutions and Cloud-based geolocation services creates a unique system architecture that offers the best balance between location accuracy and low power consumption

The first product from this portfolio is a geolocation solution that revolutionizes the development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices for asset management applications, featuring low power Wi-Fi and GNSS sniffing capabilities combined with simple to use and cost effective LoRa Cloud™ geolocation and device management services to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of locating and monitoring IoT assets.

Over the next decade, 500 billion devices are expected to connect to the internet (Cisco), as organizations continue to shift towards a more IoT-focused business strategy, and the majority of those IoT devices require some form of localization capability either at point of install or through the asset's life. The LoRa Edge geolocation platform will enable solution providers to leverage the unique localization capabilities of LoRa as well as GNSS and Wi-Fi scanning capabilities from a single chip solution, allowing customers to choose the best localization tool for the application task they are addressing.

By removing the need for incremental GNSS and Wi-Fi components, LoRa Edge reduces the bill of material (BOM) costs of devices and significantly reduces design and procurement complexity. With the addition of LoRa Cloud geolocation services, providing easy-to-use and cost effective TDOA, GNSS and Wi-Fi-based location calculation in the Cloud to dramatically reduce device power requirements and improve asset management efficiency, LoRa Edge enables customers to further manage total cost of ownership (TCO), paying only when they need an asset to be located. The best-in-class key provisioning at point of manufacture and a secure join process further simplifies the development of IoT solutions, which adhere to customers exacting expectations of security.
