The LoRa Alliance is an open, nonprofit association that has become one of the largest and fastest-growing alliances in the technology sector since its inception in 2015. Its members closely collaborate and share experiences to promote and drive the success of the LoRaWAN standard as the leading open global standard for secure, carrier-grade IoT LPWAN connectivity. With the technical flexibility to address a broad range of IoT applications, both static and mobile, and a certification program to guarantee interoperability, LoRaWAN has already been deployed by major mobile network operators globally, with continuing wide expansion into 2023 and beyond.

LoRaWAN, among the Low Power Wide Area network technologies for connecting smart meters and IoT sensors with utility applications, is an open standard technology offering a unique and disruptive flexibility to deploy private and public networks in a cost-efficient manner, alongside its interoperability at the network and device levels.

Get smart about utilities with LoRaWAN! LoRa Alliance members have deployed various LoRaWAN solutions and use cases in Utilities, Metering, Water, Electricity, and Gas.

Semtech:

Semtech's demo is co-hosted by Actility and includes the Relay feature recently introduced into the LoRaWAN protocol.' It will show the interoperability between different commercial relays and the low-power operation of the implementation, enabling battery-powered relay to last several years.

OrbiWise:

OrbiWise has supported the deployment of a few LoRaWAN public networks featuring Smart Water and Smart Gas Metering in different European countries to digitize building advanced, affordable, and scalable end-to-end solutions for the utility market. OrbiWise is proud to showcase these projects at ENLIT 2023. The dimensions of these networks (in excess of several thousand or tens of thousands of meters) show the capability of large and scalable deployments covering both high-density areas and extended regions.

Everynet:

Everynet will bring together key ecosystem partners and end users to present live deployments of utility metering/management solutions. These presentations will demonstrate the scalability and low costs associated with these game changing LoRaWAN solutions.

Actility:

LoRaWAN open standard technology is a leader for smart meter applications, providing scalable and cost-effective solutions that reduce utility waste. Actility's ThingPark IoT connectivity platform is well positioned to be a leader in this market by managing both private and public networks and providing a platform for IoT sensors and applications.

Actility's IoT network infrastructure provides points of interoperability between systems, simplifying integration, and reducing costs so that utilities and cities can focus on creating business value through improved services and better customer experiences.

The IoT is also helping to automate water management through smart water metering solutions, which enable utilities, cities, buildings, and industrial sites to improve the performance of their water distribution systems, reduce investment and operating costs, and implement automated monitoring and leakage detection. Actilitys IoT platform, based on the LoRaWAN technology, is used for large-scale, smart metering projects. The IoT is also helping to automate gas management with accurate, easily installed solutions for gas and electricity utility management. Actility's IoT platform enables reliable smart grid solutions in large areas, using LoRaWAN capabilities.

ELSYS:

Energy saving is a hot topic, and our sensors with LoRaWAN are ideal for such a use case!

Furthermore, we also have LoRaWAN temperature sensors powered by an indoor solar cell, which means no maintenance with changing batteries, and battery-free is good for the environment.

Elvaco:

Elvaco provides first-in-class, end-to-end smart metering solutions by connecting heat meters and sensors based on LoRaWAN technology for utilities, residential, and commercial applications.

Birdz:

M-Bus over LoRaWAN enables utilities to leverage on the power of LoRaWAN's connectivity while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy M-Bus applications.

Netmore:

Pan-European LoRaWAN with coverage guarantee for large scale utility projects.

Netvox:

LoRaWAN sensors can monitor real-time consumption. They are powered by renewable energy like solar and DSC. LoRaWAN smart circuit breakers can remotely control circuits and provide energy consumption data.
