Asset tracking is one of the most widely deployed Internet of Things (IoT) applications. According to Juniper Research, there will be a 27% increase in asset tracking usage over the next five years, growing from 90 million in 2020 to 114 million by 2025. With this increase, IoT solutions need to enable the efficient and reliable monitoring of assets as they move through the production cycle, and often throughout large warehouses and campuses. Having access to reliable location data is increasingly valuable to production managers, reducing the potential for assets to be misplaced or lost entirely during their journey.

Many industries are investing in smart technologies to replace legacy systems with automated asset management solutions. Legacy asset management systems are often power hungry and require multiple devices, software and services from numerous vendors, resulting in increased complexity and cost.

At the same time, IoT solutions can be expensive or impractical to implement because of the vast area the asset needs to travel. The main difficulty is linking remote sensors wirelessly to the internet across a variety of sites, both indoors and outdoors – even across different countries – in a seamless manner. The ideal wireless solution should be cost efficient, low power and secure, with the ability to work over long distances. By coupling those features with a low cost and lightweight solution with a standardized infrastructure, the result is a reliable tracking solution that allows logistics operators to reduce downtime during transportation.

让地理定位技术成为任何类型的联网设备都能提供的本地服务，何乐而不为？如果有一种解决方案，能让电池寿命超过现有蜂窝网络解决方案的 10 倍，并且客户能仅在需要时付费使用地理定位服务，岂不妙哉？地理定位的未来已经到来。

The number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices deployed across the globe is expected to triple over the next decade. As a result of this growth, there’s a need for more low power connectivity to process the small amounts of data these devices produce quickly and securely. Moreover, with 2G and 3G networks sunsetting, enterprises are in need of a low power wide area (LPWA) network that is cost-effective and reliable in order to provide the connectivity needed to power IoT applications across a variety of industries.

Traditional utility operations are labor intensive and utilize subjective measurement by field personnel. Meters are often located in dense urban environments, indoors or even underground, and can be challenging—if not impossible—to reach by wireless technologies. By implementing a smart utilities infrastructure comprised of sensors and gateways utilizing the LoRaWAN® standard including streaming analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), utility and metering companies can collect real-time data , analyze it and act on insights from data no matter where it’s generated – enabling more efficient use of resources and personnel for streamlined operations. 

As one of the oldest industries, agriculture has existed for thousands of years in China. It is the foundation of the national economy and the most fundamental for China to achieve sustainable development. However, with the transformation of our economic structure in recent years, the agriculture industry is facing tough challenges posed by factors such as the increasing shortage of agricultural labor force (farmers increasingly turning to migrant workers), the improper use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the shortage of water resources. How to achieve refined, green and sustainable development of agriculture is the key problem to be addressed in China and even across the world.

As the hype around 5G technology continues to grow, the possibility of faster, more streamlined connectivity is driving conversations globally. But while 5G adoption has started, it continues to roll out slowly. To date, some have experienced the benefits 5G technology can bring, but most are patiently awaiting its arrival – and that’s assuming the technology fits the needs of their use case. 5G technology shows a breadth of new possibilities, however since it’s not a one size fits all technology, connectivity solutions from a variety of sources are still necessary.

很难相信 Semtech 的 LoRa® 器件和 LoRaWAN® 标准仅仅问世六年。从物联网 (IoT) 开发人员、跨国公司到网络提供商，每个人都在为强大的 LoRaWAN 生态系统做贡献，从而实现多个行业的数字化转型。

饥饿摧毁了全球社区

世界数百万人面临着饥饿的威胁，而且数字还在不断上升。全球约 6.9 亿人每晚饿着肚子睡觉，而这一 figure is expected to increase to 840 million people by 2030.

智能零售是指传统购物方式与现代“智能”技术的混合，它正在改变零售业格局。通过物联网 (IoT)，凭借植入式器件与计算机之间的通信积累数据。这样就可以让消费者享受更加个性化、更快和更直观的零售体验，例如个性化的优惠券和智能管理的库存。

Semtech 的 LoRa® 器件用于超过 1.78 亿个终端节点、130 万个网关和 150 家公共或专用网络运营商，并且这些数字还在不断增长，是理想的物联网 (IoT)* 无线平台。ABI Research 估计，到 2026 年，超过 50% 的非蜂窝低功耗广域连接将采用 LoRa。LoRa 器件和 LoRaWAN® 协议的采用必然会激增。
