Semtech, along with select partners, will host boot camps to
introduce LoRa® RF technology and its potential
IoT applications, and give a hands-on tutorial with take-home starter
kits
Semtech
(Nasdaq: SMTC),
a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, will host
a series of LoRa® boot camps through next year to showcase
its unprecedented long-range, low-power Internet of Things (IoT) network
solution and give participants a hands-on tutorial with a working
starter kit. Select Semtech partners, depending on the boot camp
location and date, will also present their LoRa-integrated solutions.
Registration information is available at www.regonline.com/lora_bootcamp.

The boot camps, led by Semtech’s LoRa team, provide participants with a
wide range of use case scenarios, cover the main aspects of setting up a LoRaWAN™
network, and guide participants on how to best set up their IoT
applications through hands-on tutorials. By the end of the day, boot
camp attendees should have the information and material they need to
expedite the setup of their own IoT applications, including a working
starter kit.
After successful first events in Silicon Valley on July 23 and
Neuchâtel, Switzerland on September 23, 2015, Semtech expanded its event
schedule to include additional events in Asia, Europe and North America.
The Company’s October 28 boot camp in Neuchâtel is already at capacity,
but events in San Jose on November 18 and Shenzhen on December 9 are
still available and additional boot camps into 2016 will be introduced
soon.

“We were motivated to expand these events after an overwhelmingly
positive response to our first two,” said Hardy Schmidbauer, Director of
Wireless Products at Semtech. “By giving companies the information and
the starter kits they need to jumpstart their IoT solutions, we aim to
increase the adoption of the LoRaWAN standard and catalyze the growth of
IoT applications globally.”
LoRa RF Long Range Wireless Platform Overview
Semtech’s LoRa platform includes the SX1301
baseband processor embedded in base stations and the SX1272/3/6/7/8
transceiver chipsets embedded in sensors to provide long-range
connectivity, operating on low power for long battery life. LoRaWAN is a
standardized protocol that offers bi-directionality, security, mobility,
accurate localization, and most importantly, interoperability between
LPWAN networks and IoT, machine-to-machine (M2M) and smart city
applications.
What’s in the Take-Home Starter Kits
The take-home starter kits include the following components: RaspberryPi
B+ (or 2) with a LoRa IoT shield unit and pre-installed micro SD card, a
SX1301-based concentrator reference design, an active GPS antenna, USB
cables, a power adapter, and an example end-point (a LoRaMote or MBED
shield unit) as a reference to confirm the kit’s functionality.
Registering for the Bootcamp
Companies interested in developing or connecting solutions into LoRaWAN
networks can register up to three employees to attend for $1,000 per
company. More information, including registration, is available at www.regonline.com/lora_bootcamp.
Key Features of LoRa RF Technology:
-
Long Range: A single LoRa base station enables deep penetration
capability for dense urban environments and indoor coverage, while
also providing the ability to connect to sensors more than 15-30 miles
away in rural areas.
-
Low Cost: LoRa reduces both upfront infrastructure investments
and operating costs, as well as end-node sensor costs.
-
Standardized: LoRaWAN ensures interoperability among
applications, IoT solution providers and telecom operators to speed
adoption and deployment.
-
Low Power: The LoRaWAN protocol was developed specifically for
low power and enables unprecedented multi-year battery lifetime.
