Development of a network for advanced low power localization using LoRa technology MIP: Semtech Neuchâtel Sàrl

Abstract (German)

The LoRa technology developed by Semtech allows the range of digital wireless communications to be|significantly increased thus allowing effective Internet of Things (IoT) with very little infrastructure.|In addition, the technology provides the ability to accurately determine the Time-of-Arrival (ToA) of the radio|signal (in the order of a few tens of nanoseconds) and hence to be used for localizing objects (with an|accuracy of a few tens of meters). The goal of this project is to develop a complete IoT system based on|LoRa and including long range monitoring and localization at the city level.
