The OPC Foundation has announced a new joint working group effort with the LoRa Alliance to develop a mapping from LoRaWAN to OPC UA, bringing together two highly complementary technologies that play important roles in the future of industrial and IoT connectivity. This collaboration aims to define how data and information models originating from LoRaWAN-based devices and systems can be represented in OPC UA, enabling improved interoperability between low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) deployments and industrial automation, enterprise and cloud-based systems.
