LoRa Technology Is Powering the IoT Revolution in India

LoRaWAN Adoption in India

Tata Communications and SenRa are committed towards extensive LoRaWAN-based network deployment across India and are playing a significant role in driving the growth of IoT in India.

Tata Communications, a leading digital infrastructure provider, is building the foundation for IoT in India with an IoT network spanning nearly 2,000 communities and touching over 400 million people. Tata Communications is providing the LoRaWAN network across 45 cities in India, with more cities planned for implementation over the next two years. The company, with the support of an ecosystem of developers and technology partners, aims to offer end-to-end IoT solutions to both enterprises and the government for a digitally enabled future. Tata Communications has successfully completed the deployment of 300 LoRaWAN-based street lights in JUSCO (Jamshedpur Utilities and Services Company), one of the first smart cities in India, and aims to install a total of 15,000 lights in the city in the coming five years. In addition, Tata Communications’ LoRa-based safety watch used by Tata Steel factory workers is a location tracker and health monitoring wearable device, which gives real time data about workers’ locations in deep indoor areas, body temperatures, heart rates, pulse rates and fall detection, minimizing the occupational hazards and better ensuring the safety of workers.

SenRa, another dedicated LoRaWAN-based network provider, is accelerating the LoRaWAN and IoT augmentation in India by focusing on verticals such as smart water, smart agriculture, smart buildings, smart waste management and smart cities. SenRa aims to expand its LoRaWAN network across 30 cities by this year’s end, and is committed to enabling more than one smart city each month going forward. Working with the LoRa Alliance®, myDevices, and institutes like IIT Bombay, SenRa is paving the way for strong research communities and encouraging young developers to work on LoRa. SenRa has successfully conducted PoCs with companies like Amritsar Smart City Limited (under the Smart City project) for deploying smart parking sensors in Amritsar city, NAS (Nordic Automation Systems) for LoRaWAN-based metering applications, Imtac for smart cities solutions and IoT wearable, SmartEnds for industrial and smart bin sensors and Chariot for deploying LoRaWAN-based smart water meters in Delhi.

With “Make in India” and “Startup India” initiatives imputed by GOI, Tata Communications and SenRa are working towards making India a global manufacturing hub and world-class IoT solutions provider. Collaborating with different hardware and application vendors, tie-ups with colleges and universities, organizing hackathons and boot camps, both companies are enhancing IoT innovation and empowering its impact in India.

Powering the IoT Revolution

India is seen as one the fastest growing economies and it reaffirms a strong belief in the world to be center of the digital game. Early adoption of consumers towards IoT and high mobile internet penetration in India would lead to wider scale of IoT adoption than many developed countries. It is very important to select the IoT technology according to the use case, business requirements and outcomes to be achieved. Industrialists should choose the IoT technology according to their data need, power requirement, criticality of response, security and safety requirements. LoRa/LoRaWAN is a proven LPWAN success story and a prime enabler of IoT offering low power, secure data transfer over long distance, flexibility and scalability, and current availability.
