The LoRa Alliance, a non-profit organization, is devoted to advancing Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) based on LoRaWAN technology. Launched in 2015 by major industry partners, including Semtech, IBM, Cisco, and others, its original goal was to establish an open, global standard for LPWAN, fostering IoT solutions that are affordable, scalable, and interoperable.
Over the years, the Alliance has grown to encompass numerous member companies across various sectors, making it a key player in the expansion of the LoRaWAN ecosystem. It has released several versions of the LoRaWAN protocol and established certification programs to ensure device and network interoperability, promoting global deployment and adoption.
Today, the LoRa Alliance continues to nurture a thriving ecosystem, with certified products and solutions deployed across 180+ countries. Regular updates to the LoRaWAN specification ensure that the technology addresses new use cases, adheres to regulatory requirements, and embraces technological innovations. The Alliance has also introduced enhanced security features, improved geolocation support, and expanded regional parameters in response to regional regulations like ETSI, FCC, and ISM bands. It supports specialized applications such as asset tracking, smart cities, and industrial IoT.
Complementing the formal LoRa Alliance certification process, organizations like ThingPark conduct additional interoperability tests, validating device behavior under differentconditions and regional settings. This additional testing helps ensure that devices meet real-world integration requirements and regional compliance, paving the way for widespread IoT deployment success. Overall, the LoRa Alliance continues to play a pivotal role in the development, standardization, and global adoption of LoRaWAN technology, ensuring its continued significance in the IoT market.
- "In light of the remarkable acceptance and interest in our KONA Photon zero-footprint solar gateway, we anticipate expanded collaboration with finance institutions for potential investments in our technology," said the CTO and co-founder of our platform, David Tholl.
- "As we continue to innovate and expand our LoRaWAN product portfolio to cater to diverse industries, our partnership with sensor manufacturers is crucial in delivering cutting-edge technology solutions," noted David Tholl during the LoRa Alliance event in Munich.
