Alpha-Omega Technology’s KLAX module enables
the simple deployment and retrofit of metering applications to
reduce waste and bring cost savings
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high
performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced
algorithms, announced that Alpha-Omega Technology (AO-T), a leading
developer of Internet of Things (IoT) utility metering solutions,
has incorporated the LoRaWAN® protocol into its new KLAX line of
smart meter interface modules for enterprise and consumer utility
management. AO-T’s applications leveraging the LoRaWAN protocol
enable the simple deployment and retrofit of legacy metering
solutions for real-time utility data transfer over LoRaWAN
networks.

“Semtech’s LoRa® devices offer significant advantages for the
smart utilities industry and bring customers the means to quickly,
cost effectively and simply transform their legacy applications
with long range connectivity,” said Jan Bose, CEO at AO-T. “LoRa
devices and the LoRaWAN protocol provide customers an accurate look
into their utility use rates, and represent an effective platform
for IoT applications in the utility vertical. With this proven IoT
platform, AO was able to create a product in KLAX that meets our
customers’ needs and delivers a swift return on investment
(ROI).”
AO-T’s KLAX module monitors energy and gas use in real time and
integrates into existing metering infrastructure without the need
for external devices, wires or a power source. KLAX deploys
magnetically in less than a minute and leverages a simple optical
interface to connect with the meter, reducing installation cost to
the customer. This simple retrofit enables the smart, remote
management of utility data from meters, which previously required
in-person reading. The device utilizes LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN
protocol to deliver utility data long range, up to miles from the
nearest gateway and deep indoors, creating an effective tool for
large-scale business campuses and apartment complexes.
Additionally, KLAX collaborated with The Things Industries and
Datacake to create web applications providing end users simple,
up-to-date access to their usage data. This delivers tangible cost
savings by allowing accurate insight into energy use and enabling a
targeted approach to reducing waste, bringing savings on monthly
bills and reducing environmental impact.
“The KLAX module leverages LoRa and the LoRaWAN protocol to
allow customers the means to quickly connect their legacy
applications and receive the benefits of IoT and smart metering,”
said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of IoT Product Marketing for
Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “As there is a
continued drive for efficiency and renewable energy as natural
resources increase in scarcity, AO-T’s module brings the feature
set for smarter, sustainable and efficient energy use.”
