The LoRa Alliance, the global association of companies backing the open LoRaWAN standard for internet of things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), has announced that its members have surpassed 125 million global deployments of LoRaWAN end devices. This marks a significant step, underscoring the rapid and sustained adoption of the leading LPWAN standard. With a 25% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) across its ecosystem, LoRaWAN has proven its maturity and scalability as it enters this exponential growth phase. Additionally, the Alliance noted that when factoring in the largest networks with multi-million-device deployments, some vendors are achieving CAGRs as high as 50%.

The LoRa Alliance, the global association of companies backing the open LoRaWAN standard for Internet of Things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), has announced that it has released the latest LoRaWAN Regional Parameters RP2-1.0.5 specification, defining new data rates that minimise time-on-air, maximise quality of service and reduce energy use of end-devices. Higher data rates also optimise network capacity, allowing more devices to operate on the same number of gateways.

Cities nowadays want more from their streetlights than simple illumination. They expect them to last for years by saving energy and even act as part of wider smart city services. However, the reality often looks different when large projects roll out. Thousands of controllers need to work together and still face problems with reliability, compatibility across different lighting systems, and network congestion. This is because so many devices cannot connect in the same area.
