AWS IoT Core Device Location, launched in Nov 2022, makes it possible for customers to track and manage IoT devices using their location data, such as latitude and longitude coordinates.
LoRa Edge
Understanding On-Premise LoRaWAN® Deployments
Many LoRaWAN deployments are private or on-premise. These deployments rely on the ability to deploy sensors, gateways and a network server within a company’s own infrastructure, and might require that the entire infrastructure remain sealed off from the internet.

持续资产追踪的需求
全球供应链和日常物流运营中充满了复杂的问题，资产追踪可以说是其中最具挑战性的。中断和随后的资本损失不仅影响全球运输的货物，还影响用于运输的集装箱和车辆。在更局部的范围内，零售商面临着全天随时追踪其资产和供应的挑战，原因不一而足，如防盗、库存管理等。
人们对智能、可扩展和高性价比的全球资产追踪解决方案的需求不断增长已成趋势。近期由于迫切需要改善端到端供应链的性能、可见性和客户服务，更是加速了这一趋势。
An innovative software and hardware solution designed to enable cost-effective and energy-efficient asset tracking and management solutions, the LoRa Edge™ asset management platform addresses a wide variety of use cases and scenarios, thanks to the versatile and configurable components that make up the system. Furthermore, it uses Semtech’s LoRa Cloud™ geolocation capabilities to significantly reduce power consumption by determining asset locations in a cloud-based solver.
A wealth of information about the LoRa Edge asset management platform is available. Here, we’re packaging it all up in one place to make finding what you need easier.

Location is a vital component of the Internet of Things (IoT), encompassing the ability of things to sense and communicate their geographic position. Location data helps organize, track and account for the billions of Internet-connected devices based on sensors and other location-centric elements within them. The ability to capture location data forms the basis of location-based services and starts with the physical radio frequency (RF) technologies that interact with the world around them.
Several technologies, such as GPS, LoRa® and others, can provide outdoor location information. However, these existing technologies are not optimized for IoT asset tracking use cases due to their increased power requirements which require access to frequent charging as well as inability to work indoors. Reducing power consumption on devices fundamentally requires a reduction of compute on device, with IoT this can be accomplished by partitioning the workload between the device and harnessing the power of the Cloud. For precise indoor location, where GPS has no tangible reach, and to enable continuous location detection or tracking, indoor positioning systems (IPS) technologies such as Wi-Fi come into play.
资产追踪是物联网 (IoT) 部署最广泛的应用之一。到 2025 年，物联网对工厂、零售场所、工作场所、办公室和家庭的总体经济影响可能高达 6.3 万亿美元， according to McKinsey Global. A variety of industries, including home and building, healthcare, agriculture, and food services in addition to the industrial and logistics markets, are investing in smarter technologies to replace siloed legacy systems with automated asset management solutions. Many existing geolocation applications are power hungry and require multiple devices, software and services from multiple vendors, resulting in increased complexity and cost.
As Internet of Things (IoT) customers discover the benefits of LoRa® devices for applications as diverse as water metering, smart lighting or tracking rhinos, there is increasing demand for “location of things” services.

基于位置的资产管理解决方案可帮助全球企业尽可能高效地管理其资产，作用至关重要。从资产定位、资产追踪、地理围栏、资产追回到防止损失和盗窃，大量的用例不一而足。尽管市场对地理定位资产管理解决方案的需求很高，但当前的产品往往无法完全满足客户的要求和期望。
