Semtech Gets LoRaWAN Win In Australia

Camarillo-based semiconductor developer Semtech announced another win for its LoRaWAN low power networking technology, this time in Australia, saying that Meshed Pty Ltd (Meshed IoT Integrators), an Australian provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for smart cities, environment, water, energy, agriculture, and asset management, has adopted its technology for monitoring city public health. Meshed provides a product which monitors population in a given space, anonymously collecting information on the number of smartphones in a given area, allowing city managers to monitor activity at hotspots such as shopping malls, parks and gardens, public facilities, and major events. Meshed is using Semtech's LoRaWAN to transmit back information wirelessly in real time.
