Massachusetts Institute of Technology is using my acclaimed tutorial on how to build cheap LoRa gateways. The material was used in an institute lecture about The Things Network. The tutorial was also used during the Internet of Things Festival in the workshop "make your own LoRaWAN gateway, and connect it to The Things Network".

CloudRF supports LoRa with a low receiver threshold of -140dBm, a dedicated sub-noise floor colour schema, hardware template for novice users and propagation models suitable for the UHF spectrum it uses. The high resolution LIDAR data enables you to plan in urban areas with a high degree of precision. For wide area plots there is 30m terrain data worldwide which includes clutter like buildings and vegetation.

Cellnex Switzerland and HELIOT, the operator for the Sigfox technology in Switzerland, will roll out the first global IoT (Internet of Things) network based on ultra-narrow band (UNB) modulation in Switzerland using more than 350 sites.
Cellnex has been operating in Switzerland since August 2017 when it acquired the company Swiss Towers AG and integrated the 2,839 sites that cover the entire Swiss territory into its portfolio of European telecommunications infrastructures. The Swiss IoT network will be the second rolled out by Cellnex in Europe in cooperation with Sigfox. In 2015 Cellnex rolled out the first IoT network in Spain, to which more than 1 million devices are connected daily.

Sigfox’s co-founder is eyeing a listing in 2019 and pondering a pre-IPO round later this year, after reassuring investors about the future of the French startup. With money from backers including Salesforce.com Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., Sigfox has expanded its network for connected objects, added sizable customers and is on track to become profitable in the fourth quarter, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Ludovic Le Moan said in an interview in Paris.

PicoWAN is an open network, developers all around the world can develop compatible products.
Fee starting from 1€/device/year The software embedded in connected objects (library + PDK) will be freely available to all developers and integrators. Connected objects can be made bi-modal objects, PicoWAN/LoRaWAN, which can connect indifferently to the PicoWAN or any LoRaWAN network. SDK available for Murata ABZ modules, closed source PicoWAN stack.

The original Weightless specification was based on white-spaces and renamed to Weightless-W once it was deprecated. Then a new specification was released based on nWave called Weightless-N, also deprecated. Then the last specification was released based on Platanus called Weightless-P, now renamed to Weightless. As almost nobody use Weightless, the SIG decided to make the Weightless-P specification public and available to anyone who wants to give the email address, not only members. Some key board members of the Weightless SIG departed, the rest of the board members hold while there are funds from the membership fees. I am not claiming the Weightless-P specification is bad, but I predict Weightless will never success as a widely used standard.

The Avnet Silica NB-IoT Sensor Shield is a Cat M1 and NB-IoT board providing Arduino pinout connectors. The Arduino compatibility provides ultimate flexibility, leveraging on a huge ecosystem of compatible boards. It enables you to choose the microcontroller board that best fits your application, like STM32 Nucleo boards, and combine them with sensors and other peripheral boards as needed.
The NB-IoT Sensor Shield is equipped with Pmod connectors for an extended compatibility with addional boards. The shield is based on Quectel BG96, a low power module supporting Cat M1, Cat NB1 and EGPRS fallback. GNSS is supported.

Orange, KPN and IoT connectivity platform supplier Actility today reveal the first successful field test of actual roaming between nationwide public IoT networks, implementing the latest LoRa Alliance™ specifications. Roaming is the ability for an IoT device to seamlessly connect to different LoRaWAN networks to transmit its data. This successful implementation of roaming protocols in the field opens up the possibility of connecting sensors or trackers that move between countries. It also simplifies the implementation of international business applications – by removing the need to both integrate several IoT platforms and contract with multiple LoRaWAN operators – thereby reducing time to market for customers.
