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。
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。
资产追踪是物联网 (IoT) 最有前途的应用之一。运输、物流、医疗保健和食品服务等各个行业都在投资更智能的技术，用自动化资产管理解决方案取代孤立的传统系统。
Semtech 在其新的 LoRa Edge™ 平台中推出了第一款产品——这是一个高度通用且低功耗的软件定义 LoRa® 平台，将为室内和室外资产管理实现广泛的应用组合。该平台的第一款产品 LoRa Edge™ 多技术资产管理平台 (LR1110) 是一个颠覆性的地理定位解决方案，可显著降低在安全环境中定位和监控物联网 (IoT) 资产的成本和复杂性.
地理定位是最为强大、发展势头最为迅猛的物联网 (IoT) 应用之一。据 Market Insight Reports 报道，到 2025 年，“地理信息物联网”的市场规模预计将从现在的 400 亿美元增长至 740 亿美元。
