Semtech Nearing 80 Million LoRa Nodes Deployed

Camarillo-based analog and mixed signal semiconductor provider Semtech says it is nearing almost 80 million of its LoRa end nodes deployed, along with 200,000 LoRa-based gateways, the company said today. According to the company, it expects those numbers by early 2019. LoRa is the company's low power wireless technology, which allows for communications of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and other devices. Semtech said some of the applications it has seen for its technology include water leak detection products; soil irrigation sensors; flood monitoring networks; and much more. The company says it now has its products deployed in more than 70 countries.
