LoRa Basics Station simplifies the management
of large-scale LoRa®-based deployments
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of
high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and
advanced algorithms, announced that The Things Industries will
support Semtech’s LoRa Basics™ Station, new state-of-the-art
gateway packet forwarder, at the LoRa Alliance® All Members Meeting
in Berlin. LoRa Basics Station features built-in security and eases
the process of managing gateways, especially in large-scale
deployments of LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency
technology (LoRa Technology).

“The open source LoRa Basics Station packet forwarder lowers the
barrier for companies to invest in Semtech’s LoRa Technology, as it
simplifies the management of large-scale deployments,” said Johan
Stokking, CTO of The Things Industries and co-founder of The Things
Network. “The Things Industries is well aligned with Semtech in
creating developer-friendly tools so developers can focus on
optimizing their applications without having to dive into the
technical, low-level functionality of the network.”
LoRa Basics Station offers enhanced security and remote
configuration capabilities, and leverages secure web sockets to
communicate with the LNS. LoRa Basics Station comes with a service
to interact with gateways deployed in the field and avoids firewall
issues when connecting the gateway to corporate networks. Physical
access is often required to update gateway firmware, change the
network server provider or change frequency plan. LoRa Basics
Station comes with a Configuration and Update Server (CUPS) to
easily manage and update these settings, or remotely access an
individual gateway through a secure shell session on the
station.
As LoRaWAN®-based networks are increasingly leveraged in
environments with little to no Internet infrastructure, gateways
filter unnecessary packets to reduce data costs via cellular or
satellite connections. Class B device operations and Firmware
Updates Over The Air (FOTA) require accurate time synchronization
between end-devices and the network. LoRa Basics Station
synchronizes gateway clocks to allow network-wide coordination
without GPS modules. This feature allows the receive window on the
devices to briefly open, minimizing power consumption. All devices
within a multicast group listen for incoming server messages
simultaneously.
“The Things Industries’ support of LoRa Basics Station will
accelerate the development of LoRa-based applications and pave the
way for easier gateway management,” said Steve Hegenderfer, Senior
Director of the Developer Ecosystem in Semtech’s Wireless Sensing
and Products Group. “LoRa Basics is fully compliant with LoRa
Alliance and allows developers as well as enterprises to rapidly
develop their applications.”
