LoRaWAN® World Expo 2022 – Ανακαλύψτε τη δύναμη του LoRaWAN

The LoRaWAN® World Expo, που διοργανώθηκε από τη Συμμαχία LoRa, μόλις έλαβε χώρα στο Παρίσι στις 6 και 7 Ιούλιος. στην πραγματικότητα, the event was originally scheduled for June 2020, but was postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Members of the LoRa Alliance and all IoT solution vendors interested in LoRa technology have high hopes for the 2022 conference. As they expected, it was clear that the event achieved its goals and commitments, με πάνω 1,100 people attending the conference, a wealth of conference and workshop content, and more than 70 companies showcasing their products based on LoRa. The LoRaWAN ecosystem is performing a great job, it is obvious!

The rapid development of LoRaWAN

According to the LoRa Alliance, the number of public LoRaWAN networks worldwide has grown by 66% over the past three years. What has changed? How will LoRaWAN promote its future? Donna Moore, chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance, gives her answer in an inspiring keynote – Why LoRaWAN is Essential.

In her inspirational keynote, Donna examines current trends driving transformational change, LoRaWAN’s growing role as an agent of that change and what that means for the future of LoRaWAN itself. She described how LoRaWAN is an essential technology because it can improve the health, ασφάλεια, and welfare of our global citizens, increase our plant’s sustainability and drive business efficiencies. Since the LoRa Alliance was founded, members have devoted themselves to evolving the LoRaWAN standard and focusing on its security, ease of deployment, and certification tools. She also added, “our members collaborate actively with other standards to address the expansive IoT market.”

LoRaWAN® World Expo inside the Palais des Congrès

During the LoRaWAN® World Expo, a LoRaWAN private network established by the Actility ThingPark Enterprise was put into use. A variety of sensors are mounted around the facility to collect data such as humidity, θερμοκρασία, διοξείδιο του άνθρακα, occupancy status, και τα λοιπά. These sensor data will then be collected through a LoRaWAN Gateway of Motorola Solutions and visualized through KHEIRON Studio of IoTthink. Εξάλλου, fifty participants are equipped with smart badges of Abeeway, and their locations are updated in real-time on the event floor plan.

What Was Interesting at The LoRaWAN® World Expo

LoRaWAN enables sustainability and saving the planet
Transforma Insights outlined how LoRaWAN can enable a range of sustainability benefits including reductions in electricity and (petrochemical) fuel consumption and water usage. Transforma Insights aggregate IoT forecasts are based on the analysis and forecasting of ~250 individual IoT applications, and the assessment of the sustainability impact of LoRaWAN will be based on forecast numbers of LoRaWAN connections for each application combined with the sustainability impact of each application.

Natural disaster prevention and recovery technologies
Decentlab GmbH presented their flood and water level monitoring in various environments. They showed how the monitoring already prevented flooding of houses, provided information to optimize sewer system and so show ROI for the monitoring solution. Thingy IOT measured the impact of wildfires and climate change with remote networks. With challenging terrain and limited resources, they look at how LoRaWAN networks support a new set of remote monitoring applications in collaboration with federal, state, and local research organizations.

Satellite connectivity enabled with LoRaWAN

When it comes to LoRaWAN, space is not “the final frontier.” EchoStar Mobile (EML) is a mobile satellite operator, providing seamless and reliable connectivity across Europe. EML is launching a pan-European LoRaWAN network. EML believes that satellite has a key role to play in the adoption of IoT across Europe and around the globe.

LoRaWAN in healthcare: smart hospitals, wearables for adults with dementia, and wearables for respiratory health monitoring
Τρία μέλη της LoRa Alliance συζήτησαν πώς οι εταιρείες τους επηρεάζουν την υγεία και την ευημερία των ανθρώπων που λαμβάνουν υπηρεσίες από τα συστήματα υγειονομικής περίθαλψης μας. Από το να κάνουμε τα κτίρια των νοσοκομείων πιο έξυπνα μέχρι την παρακολούθηση ασθενών που περιπλανώνται ή εκείνων των οποίων τα ζωτικά σημεία πρέπει να παρακολουθούνται εξ αποστάσεως, Αυτοί οι ηγέτες τεχνολογίας έδειξαν πώς το LoRaWAN εμπνέει και μας δίνει τη δυνατότητα να φροντίζουμε καλύτερα τους ανθρώπους.

Έξυπνη Διατήρηση Κληρονομιάς με χρήση IoT και LoRaWAN
Η πολιτιστική κληρονομιά καθορίζει την ιστορία και τον πολιτισμό μιας χώρας. IoT and LoRaWAN enable the creation of Digital Twins of the heritage assets the sensorization of monuments, art pieces, paintings, sculptures, tombs, και τα λοιπά.

Smart Cities Panel – Serving Citizens via LoRaWAN Enabled IoT Services

The Internet of Things and Digital Transformation create enormous possibilities to improve the lives of people around the world. With an estimated 5 % of the world’s population living in cities today, and expected to rise to 70% με 2050 according to the World Bank, cities present an enormous opportunity to disproportionately improve the lives of the people on our planet.

Up next for the LoRa Alliance

Συμμαχία LoRa is coming to San Francisco! Τον Οκτωβριο 11-13 this winter, LoRa Alliance will hold the final LoRaWAN Event and Committee Face-to-Face Meeting of 2022. The LoRaWAN Training sessions will cover how to build an end-to-end solution, enable LoRaWAN device-to-device multicast communications, and set up a tracker on a community platform with roaming.

About the LoRa Alliance®

LoRa Alliance is an open and non-profit association dedicated to promoting the global adoption of the LoRaWAN standard. Από την ίδρυσή του στο 2015, it has developed rapidly and has become one of the largest alliances in the tech industry. Members work closely together and share expertise to facilitate the global standardization of LoRaWAN. It is not only an organization that promotes technical standards, but also a market-oriented alliance to promote industrial ecology. One of the goals of the LoRa Alliance is that LoRaWAN-based end devices will be able to access different networks around the world and enable roaming between different carrier networks in the future.
