Actility and Semtech unveiled the ThingPark Wireless concept, a long-range, bidirectional radio solution for M2M sensor OEMs and application providers.
It is based on Semtech’s ultra-long range, bidirectional LoRa radio transceivers for end-devices and Actility’s wireless M2M gateway with an open cloud-based platform for application development.
Actility has designed ThingPark Wireless as an off-the-shelf solution ready to support adoption of a wide range of innovative sensor-based services such as smart parking, street lighting, fire safety systems, digital signage monitoring, electric vehicle charging, smart objects, irrigation systems, air quality control, smart metering, safety sensor metering and many more.
The platform uses unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM)-band spectrum, allowing low cost and fast roll-out of M2M networks to accommodate industrial sensors for a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The incorporation of Semtech’s LoRa spread-spectrum transceivers makes it possible to reliably transmit low data rate signals up to 15 km without issues related to crystal accuracy found in traditional systems for smart metering and industrial applications based on frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation.
A ThingPark Wireless smart city or smart building project requires only a low-cost, small antenna on a rooftop to connect sensors in a 2 to 5 km radius for dense cities or in a 15 km radius in countryside applications. LoRa technology has 5 to 10 dB higher link budget than cellular technology for in-building penetration where cellular and GPS cannot reach.
This solution combines Actility’s wireless base station, an integrated backhaul network, a cloud-based platform and simple RESTful API. This interface allows M2M application developers and cloud services providers to access sensors through an homogeneous XML-based protocol-independent syntax (oBix). Based on the ETSI M2M standard, supported by the OneM2M global partnership, ThingPark Cloud ensures interoperability with a growing community of M2M sensors and application vendors in the fields of demand response, data loggers, energy management, home automation and security. It also includes an optional SaaS BigData storage platform for large-scale data collection able to support real-time interactive database queries from authorised third-party application providers on large volumes of data.
