I've been looking at this technology for out of band management of sitemonitor-connected devices for about 6 months now. I mentioned this briefly in another thread, without naming the technology directly.
Waiting for my preferred silicon vendor to complete the US certification on their modules before getting started - they're already shipping European modules. Note that the C/I is in negative dB's. That is, you need a signal something like 20dB BELOW the signal level of any interferer. There is actually a fairly big opportunity for WISP's here... this system is designed in a cellular-like model. The LoraWan protocol is designed so a company like a WISP could install several AP's and then sell connectivity services across them to entities who will use it. The protocol is also encrypted so the WISP only has access to the data needed to authenticate the Lora end devices and not the actual payload data. Because this is set up very much like a cellular network (with things like a 'core'), I was expecting the price to be very prohibitive - instead it's amazingly inexpensive. -forrest On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 3:41 PM, Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuh...@gmail.com> wrote: > https://www.lora-alliance.org/ > > > https://medium.com/@dconrad/how-new-long-range-radios-will-change-the-internet-of-things-ed8e6b5e367f#.6oj7erk51 > > > Here's a manufacturer with a datasheet: > > http://www.semtech.com/images/datasheet/sx1276_77_78_79.pdf > > http://www.semtech.com/apps/product.php?pn=SX1276 > > > -- *Forrest Christian* *CEO**, PacketFlux Technologies, Inc.* Tel: 406-449-3345 | Address: 3577 Countryside Road, Helena, MT 59602 forre...@imach.com | http://www.packetflux.com <http://www.linkedin.com/in/fwchristian> <http://facebook.com/packetflux> <http://twitter.com/@packetflux>
