Semtech Corporation announced the launch of LoRa Cloud, a new, cloud-based geolocation service that is compatible with the LoRaWAN protocol and the vast majority of web servers. The geolocation service can be easily integrated to provide low-cost, performance-optimized solutions. It will be the first of a variety of cloud services offerings from Semtech to support the development of iot applications.
"Semtech's new cloud-based geolocation service is accessible through Cloud API calls, simplifying geolocation access for all lorawan-based devices and enabling mass adoption." Richard Lansdowne, senior director of LoRa Cloud™ services in Semtech's Wireless and Sensing Products group, said: "This is the first in a series of new commercial LoRa cloud services launched by Semtech as part of our overall strategy to simplify the development of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
These solutions take advantage of the low power, long range and flexible deployment of our LoRa devices and radio frequency technologies. With the free use layer, anyone can quickly and easily try out the service, while LoRa Cloud geolocation offers a consumption-based, simple and efficient pricing model."
Semtech has been experimenting with a free trial of its cloud-based geolocation service for the past year, and hundreds of users have given positive feedback on the ease of use and performance of the service. This year, LoRa Cloud geolocation was also beta tested with a limited number of partners; In the coming quarter, more users are expected to integrate new services into their platforms. The new cloud-based geolocation service has been designed from the outset to support flexible deployment, providing usable geolocation services for any iot device.
"We were impressed by the ease of integration, response time and precision of the trial service." Domenico Arpaia, CEO of Orbiwise, said: "It took us less than a day to migrate to the new service, and we're excited to see Semtech make it faster and more accurate, and deliver a true enterprise-class experience, all in line with our customers' expectations. We have the flexibility to deploy this service to meet the security and privacy needs of our customers in different geographies, which will allow us to incorporate this service into our standard offerings."
"Our Lorawan-based web server is the first to integrate Semtech's geolocation trial service, and our community of more than 64,000 users is grateful." Wienke Giezeman, founder and CEO of The Things Industries and The Things Network Foundation, said: "We are excited to see Semtech commercialize this service, enabling us to include it in our products as an immediately available add-on option." Semtech's vision of providing a critical service to support its chips will truly meet the needs of the market, and the service is free to try, so it fits 100 percent with our vision of an open and free community service that seamlessly transitions to a full commercial solution."
