Sagemcom - Femto LoRa™ integration
• An easy way to increase the densification to :
• Connect additionnal objects
• Connect inhome appliances
• Enhance the accuracy
• LoRa in the Home residential GWY :
• Plugging a module on existing Home residential
Gateway via existing USB interface.
• LoRa capabilities managed from LoRa servers :
• Low software impact inside the Home residential
gateway itself (mainly driver of the Module and
passthrough interface to the Lora Server)

LPWAN IoT Systems – Now & Tomorrow
LPWAN are changing already the rules of competition by
proposing new disruptive business models, thanks to tailored
technology, well dimensionned from the beginning with the true
fondamental and simple primary needs from major industrial
IoT:
- (Very) Low Power
- (Very) Long Range
- (Very) Low Cost (TCO)
This allows new actors to join the Connected Economy, by
adopting available & affordable wireless technology, with simple
& fast roll-out.
Simplifying IoT roll-out will massively
benefit value extraction from data, and
its monetization.
Innovative & disruptive business is emerging from ISM bands
technologies (e.g. WiFi, RFID, SRD, and now IoT), Regulators
should bear that in mind, whilst LTE-U/LAA is crossing the line…

Simplifying IoT roll-out will massively benefit value extraction from data, and its monetization. Innovative & disruptive business is emerging from ISM bands technologies (e.g. WiFi, RFID, SRD, and now IoT), Regulators should bear that in mind, whilst LTE-U/LAA is crossing the line…
