What do you think about the interoperability of Low power wide area IoT devices belonging to different LPWAN technologies? As a subset of LPWAN IoT protocols operates in unlicensed sub-GHz band (like LoRa, Sigfox) while some other protocols operate on licensed spectrum (NB-IoT). How is it possible to make them integrate with each other?
Hi,
Many IoT solutions and deployments need lower-power wide-area (LPWA) networks . This LPWAN 'reach' includes both non-cellular proprietary LPWAN and with 'x' being 'where low cost devices, long range and low power have their place',
common framework for interoperability between devices and networks on the cellular telecommunications network technologies. In contrast to standardized technologies, the other set of solutions have ... size of 12 bytes could take up to 2s to reach the base station over the air. Cell towers connect to each other to hand off packets of signals — data, voice ... complex web that offers the widest possible network coverage to subscribers.
Best wishes..
The answer to your question can be found in the deliverables of the ETSI ISG LTN Committee (European Telecommunications Standards Institute /industry specification group/low throughput network.
They have standardised the common functions for SIGfox, LoRa and ELTRES (new name of the Sony technology described there).
Note that ELTRES has better properties (has line of sight range of 200 km, lower power consumption, 4 times less BSS needed for coverage, etc. This is easy to understand :it's a more recent development).
Does it help you?
