Network deployed over Nuremberg will showcase network performance and
IoT Applications for Embedded World 2016
Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC),
a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, will
demonstrate a LoRaWAN™ Internet of Things (IoT) network deployed by Digimondo,
a subsidiary of E.ON,
a leading international energy supplier, at Embedded
World 2016 on February 23-25 in Nuremberg, Germany. Digimondo
launched low power wide area networks (LPWAN) over Nuremburg, Hamburg
and Berlin and will demonstrate the Nuremburg network performance during
the tradeshow by wirelessly tracking public transportation vehicles
across the city. The vehicles’ movement will be displayed on a monitor
at the Semtech (2-631) and Microchip (1-510) booths.

Digimondo, started by E.ON in June 2015 to help digitalize the German
energy industry, intends to launch an open LPWAN based on the LoRaWAN
standardized specification that will enable innovative IoT applications,
such as public transportation tracking, smart metering, air pollution
measurement, boat tracking and more. The network infrastructure, which
was tested in Hamburg and Berlin in 2015, has been approved for further
deployments in Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Essen, Cologne,
as well as rural areas where volumes are secured. The network is
expected to be open to outside enterprises by mid-2016.
“We’re excited to showcase the capabilities of LoRa using Digimondo’s
LPWAN network in Nuremberg,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice President & General
Manager of Semtech’s Wireless, Sensing & Timing Product Group.
“Digimondo’s commitment to providing an open access LPWAN in Germany
will help enable a variety of IoT applications in the region.”
Marcus Walena, CEO of Digimondo believes that LPWANs are the missing
piece to enable IoT and digital smart city infrastructure in Germany.
“It is Digimondo’s mission to provide Germany’s best and easiest to use
LoRa LPWAN,” said Walena. “We are proud to have partners like E.ON and
Semtech to support our efforts. 2016 is the year of IoT – the Digimondo
LPWAN is part of it.”
In addition to the demo, Microchip, a member of the LoRa™
Alliance, an international group of industry leaders, telecom
operators and solutions providers committed to standardizing LPWANs, will
be giving away LoRa-based development kits connected to the Digimondo
network during the Embedded World exhibition so attendees can evaluate
the network’s performance. Development kits will be available on a
first-come, first-served basis to select clients at Microchip’s booth
1-510.
Both Digimondo’s network and Microchip’s development kit are equipped
with Semtech LoRa RF technology, which was developed to enable LPWANs
and IoT applications. LoRa technology offers unprecedented range,
battery life, penetrability and connectivity, and it has been
implemented in a wide range of LPWAN and application deployments
worldwide. LoRa technology is being used for agriculture monitoring,
public safety, building and infrastructure management, water
conservation, natural disaster tracking and more.
