Semtech Corporation and Tata Communications are set to launch the first applications center dedicated to LoRa Technology in Mumbai, India. The center allows enterprise customers and Internet of Things (IoT) solution providers to deploy and test their applications over a LoRaWAN based low power, wide area network (LPWAN).
Following successful LoRaWAN network trials in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, Tata Communications and Semtech have worked together to deploy 35 IoT proofs-of-concept (PoCs) based on LoRa Technology across these cities. The PoCs cover a wide array of applications, including sensors for remotely monitoring air conditioners and safety deposit boxes, energy management systems used to optimize the use of electricity, gas and water, and multiple smart buildings and smart city applications.
