Semtech's LoRa devices and LoRa technology enable intelligent industrial application management

     Semtech Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and advanced algorithms, announced: EasyReach Solutions, an Indian startup focused on providing smart iot solutions for industrial applications, has incorporated Semtech's LoRa devices and radio frequency technology (LoRa technology) into its industrial and intelligent vehicle monitoring products.

     "Semtech's LoRa technology allows us to remotely monitor equipment and vehicles in ways we never imagined possible." Amol Vedak, founder and director of EasyReach. "LoRa provides us with a smarter approach to industrial resource management, and its proven, flexible sensors help us deliver customized solutions to our needs."

     EasyReach's LoRa sensor has been developed for current testing, temperature reading and GPS positioning. All sensors are compatible with the LoRaWAN™ protocol and have been proven to have GPS tracking capabilities in excess of 8 km line-of-sight. EasyReach's LORa-based smart industrial applications include sensors for steam traps, concrete mixers, forklifts, diesel tankers, backhoes, water meters and trucks. To date, EasyReach has deployed more than 600 iot node projects, saving customers money by implementing an efficient industrial management platform.

     "The benefits of integrating Semtech's LoRa technology into industrial asset management solutions go far beyond simply providing location information, with many supply chain and industrial management companies looking to more efficiently monitor their equipment health and predict maintenance," said Vivek Mohan, Director of iot, Wireless and Sensor products at Semtech. "LoRa technology is ideal for low-power asset management applications because it makes the solution scalable, proven, and easy to implement in existing infrastructure and equipment."
