Wistiki joins the LoRa Alliance to revolutionise the IoT

While putting together their expertise in terms of networks, IT infrastructures and consumer products, the alliance members are aiming to offer efficient solutions for the end customer interms of range and low cost connectivity. Considering this, Wistiki is also announcing its presence at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. Being part of the LoRa Alliance which will be located in the IoT pavillon Hall 8, this event will be an important step in the positioning of the company within the industry of geolocation.

The MWC is a must-go for all those who want to learn about top innovations in the mobile and mobile related industry. More than 95 000 visitors are going to attend the show this year. Two weeks ago Wistiki signed a strategic partnership with Bouygues Telecom, the french mobile network operator in charge of spreading the LoRa network nationally within the next year. Bouygues Telecom just created a special subsidiary called ‘Objenious’ who will support companies such as Wistiki willing to work with the LoRa protocol called LoRaWAN.

Through 3 years of intensive R&D on innovative location technologies, Wistiki has reaffirmed its strength by collaborating and getting the trust of a giant operator in France. Wistiki will exclusively test the LoRa networks of Bouygues Telecom with their own B2C product and act as a precursor in the longer term by offering products and services which enable real time localisation with low energy consumption and low costs. The strong market demand and the large scope of applications of LoRa technology in the B2C (tracking, e-health, safety…) and B2B (Transport, Supply Chain, Logistics..) sectors will definitely transform the industry of IoT.

What is the LoRa Technology? In a few words LoRa Technology is the future of IoT. The networks based on this technology will allow to interconnect a large quantity of smart devices which will enable them to communicate with each others over a very long range. The low energy consumption and the small amount of data exchanged will also allow the products to have a longer lifetime/autonomy but mostly it will offer reliable location solutions at lower costs.
