The modem’s benefits include an integrated
LoRaWAN® stack for seamless communication with LoRa Cloud™ Device
& Application Services
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high
performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced
algorithms, and Murata, a leading manufacturer of electronic
components, modules, and devices, announced the sampling
availability of a new modem based on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and
the LoRaWAN® protocol. The modem utilizes Semtech’s LoRa Cloud™
Device & Application Services; a simple to use set of new
services previously announced in March 2019 that provide device
configuration, status monitoring and application support; and LoRa
Cloud Join Server, a network independent service which simplifies
the provisioning of devices across LoRaWAN®-based networks. This
combination of modem and LoRa Cloud Device & Application
Services is designed to simplify the development process and
increase the ROI of LoRaWAN-based solutions.

“The modem integrated with Semtech’s LoRa Cloud Device &
Application Services enables customers to focus on developing
innovative Internet of Things (IoT) applications without worrying
about underlying radio connectivity,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice
President of IoT for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group.
“This new offering shortens the design and sales cycle by providing
users with a secure and easy-to-deploy LoRa-based wireless
modem.”
Key benefits of the modem to developers and sensor manufacturers
are the integrated LoRaWAN protocol stack, which is
pre-personalized to seamlessly communicate with Semtech’s LoRa
Cloud Device & Application Services. These services are
designed to operate over all LoRaWAN-based networks.
IoT solutions that are easy to deploy and simple to manage are
in heavy demand from business owners and enterprises globally.
Streamlining and standardizing basic building blocks across the
ecosystem is essential to support rapid growth and large, scalable
low power wide area networks (LPWANs). Today, access to IoT devices
is usually accomplished through a Cloud service, and Murata now
provides an integrated LoRa-based modem with an easy way for
developers to get actionable information on sensor status and
manage this securely through the Cloud. These sensors may be
deployed in harsh radio environments and need to last multiple
years on a battery. The provisioning and onboarding of sensors,
monitoring of battery levels, ability to update firmware remotely,
flexibility to join different LoRaWAN-based networks, and many
other features are now essential to IoT deployments. The modem
addresses this need for the LoRa ecosystem while following the
LoRaWAN specification.
“The new LoRa-based module with an embedded modem will allow our
customers to bring products to market faster than ever before,”
said Samir Hennaoui, LPWA Product Manager at Murata. “The goal of
this project is to provide production-ready LoRa-based hardware
platforms and associated Cloud services, which abstract complexity
and simplify development. We are confident that the module will
also accelerate the worldwide adoption of LoRa-based devices and
the LoRaWAN protocol.”
The Murata modem (CMWX1ZZABZ-104) is available for samples and
will be in production early in the fourth quarter of 2019 in Europe
and North America. For more information, visit the landing
