The enterprise-grade network lets organizations
benefit from Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity anywhere
in-state
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high
performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced
algorithms, announced that Definium Technologies (Definium) has
deployed a new enterprise-grade statewide network in Tasmania based
on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol. The network
facilitates Tasmania’s transition to a laboratory for testing new
technologies and allowing start-ups, businesses, communities, and
students to experiment as well as receive the benefits of Internet
of Things (IoT) connectivity from anywhere in-state.

“We decided to take on the challenge of rolling out a statewide
enterprise-grade LoRaWAN network,” said Mike Cruse, CEO of Definium
Technologies. “We want to encourage people to come to Tasmania and
test their IoT solutions, then deploy them around the state with
enterprise-grade reliability. Tasmania is the ideal life-sized
laboratory at scale where individuals and businesses of all scales
can experiment with next-generation IoT applications, such as
applying intelligent sensors to asset management, agricultural,
horticultural, and aquaculture use cases.”
Definium’s approach to IoT networking addresses blackspots
head-on, allowing interested parties to extend coverage by
installing one of Definium’s Nexus 8 industrial LoRaWAN-based
gateways, which has been deployed by Hobart International Airport
to provide coverage for its LoRa-enabled sensors. Extending the
network improves coverage for all Tasmanians and allows the network
to reach traditionally unavailable parts of the island. Definium
has committed over 100 of its Nexus 8 gateways to the continuing
roll-out of the network, enhancing connectivity. The statewide
network officially launched on July 25, 2019.
“The increasing deployment of large scale LoRaWAN networks using
Semtech’s LoRa devices reflects a trend toward the growing adoption
of IoT globally,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of IoT for
Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “Definium’s
deployment in Tasmania will expose businesses, students and
potential developers to IoT, and is expected to bring thousands of
devices online to enable smarter solutions in a variety of vertical
markets.”
