The Internet of Things (IoT) is upon us. IoT growth impacts enterprises and the networks they access. IoT devices for the home have captured many people’s attention, but it is the business and industrial sides of IoT that will be important managing costs, revenue and profits. Connecting billions of IoT devices economically is part of the challenge. The introduction of Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) cellular technologies is one answer.

Will Yapp, VP of Business Development for Senet http://www.senetco.com/ and Gary Audin discus IoT and wireless access technologies in this podcast. The discussion covers IoT devices, their power and maintenance and connecting to both fixed and mobile devices. Will focuses on the interoperability issues and the adoption of the LoRa® Alliance’s standards https://www.lora-alliance.org/ and its mission is to produce a global standard for LPWA.

Senet http://www.senetco.com/ provides the first public Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) utilizing the LoRa standard for the rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT) market in North America. Low Power Wide Area Networks are the key to unlock the enormous potential of IoT solutions. Experts estimate that more than 55 percent of the IoT market will be best suited to LPWAN connectivity. LPWANs enable value driven solutions which can unlock immediate ROI by enabling devices to connect over very long ranges, (~15 miles) while delivering very long battery power life (~10 years) with an extremely low power-device cost. Senet has recently announced that it has achieved coverage in 100 U.S. cities and plans to double that number over the next year.
