What this episode covers

Liliane Paradise, COO, and Alex Raimondi, CTO of Miromico, discuss bringing LPWAN technologies like mioty to industrial IoT. They explain why mioty’s TSMA protocol offers superior reliability in noisy factory environments compared to LoRaWAN, and highlight the shift toward battery-free, energy-harvesting sensors to reduce long-term operational costs and toxic waste. The conversation covers the challenges of scaling from proof-of-concept to mass deployment, emphasizing the need for robust device management, pre-certified building blocks to accelerate time-to-market, and educating customers on optimizing data transmission for battery life.

    Ep. 5 | LoRaWAN: The Things Network and LoRa Alliance Talk Open IoT

    Wienke Giezeman, co-founder and CEO of The Things Network, and Dave Kjendal, CTO/COO of Senet and LoRa Alliance board member, discuss the LoRaWAN protocol for open IoT. They explain why LoRaWAN’s low power, spread spectrum modulation, and lack of vendor lock-in make it superior to NB-IoT and Sigfox for wide-area applications like agriculture and smart cities. The conversation highlights the technical architecture, including secure elements like the Microchip ATECC608, and the business case for open standards versus proprietary 'walled gardens.'

    Building A Low-cost Satellite IoT Solution

    Alastair Williamson, CEO of Wyld Networks, explains how his company created an affordable satellite IoT solution by combining LoRaWAN technology with low-earth orbit satellites to enable global connectivity. He details the 'beaconing' mechanism that keeps sensors in sleep mode for 2-5 years on battery power, allowing data collection in areas without terrestrial coverage. Williamson highlights key use cases in precision agriculture, such as soil moisture monitoring to reduce water waste, and industrial applications like monitoring oil pipe corrosion for Chevron. He also discusses the company's roadmap to launch its commercial service in late 2022 and expand into carbon sequestration monitoring.
