The IoTlundenTechCruch is the hottest event in Europe where you can find out about the most cutting-edge technologies. It’s held in France and this year has some of the latest products available to help you make your life more connected. This year’s exhibitors include Smiirl, Onomondo, Actility, LoRa, Sigfox and Netatmo. You’ll learn everything you need to know about these technologies and the applications they can bring. So be sure to sign up!
Sigfox
Sigfox is an IoT company that aims to provide a global, low power, wide area network for connected objects. It is backed by strategic partners such as Samsung, Air Liquide stylishster, and Telefonica. The French firm is looking to create a network that will allow objects to communicate without significant amounts of energy.
Sigfox is planning to launch the world’s largest network for connected objects. This network will be operated independently of traditional wireless networks. Using unlicensed ISM bandwidth, Sigfox can roll out the network quickly and cost-effectively. In addition to providing connectivity, Sigfox will also capture sensor data and forward it to cloud servers.
Onomondo
A recent report states that the French IoT startup Sigfox may be in trouble. The company had been a hot topic in European tech circles since its inception and had raised some hefty bucks. As of now, Sigfox isn’t in a position to repay its debts but it’s still in business.
For example, the Sigfox network can connect Hibooz smart home alarms, refrigerators and city streetlights. While the nebula isn’t available in all markets yet, the company has a large user base in France and plans to expand into other countries. In fact, Sigfox has partnered with Orange to build a large scale IoT project in Angers.
Actility
IoT is all the rage these days and Actility has been making waves as a premier IoT connectivity solutions provider. From radio infrastructure deployment to licensed and unlicensed spectrum based connectivity, Actility’s solutions have the oomph to make your next network upgrade a success.
For instance, Actility’s ThingPark platform powers over half of the world’s national LoRaWAN networks. The company’s flagship solution tishare, the ThingPark Wireless, is a wireless connectivity solution designed to accelerate the adoption of IoT. This patented technology enables secure connectivity and data flow while also enabling operators to easily manage and monetize their network.
Another innovative product offered by Actility is the ThingPark Exchange. It’s a roaming hub that supports the latest Back End interface standard. These hubs are also highly interoperable and have already been successfully deployed in a multi-country environment.
LoRa
IoT and LoRa are two terms that appear regularly in fashionnowdays the news. These technologies offer solutions for wireless Internet of Things applications. They work with devices designed for long-range communications and low power consumption. The power consumption of these IoT technologies is dependent on several factors, including the MAC layer configuration, the number of radio chips, and the quality of the link.
One of the most common LPWANs, LoRa, has been successfully implemented to build a citywide IoT data network in Amsterdam. This technology works with devices that use chirp spread spectrum (CSS) FSK modulation. It provides the highest data rate and lowest power consumption.
