\nThere are several stakeholders in the IoT ecosystem who have already undertaken what we could call “hybridization”, i.e. the implementation of hybrid schemes in their IoT devices. This process has often been reinterpreted by each player depending on the sector in which it operates, introducing barriers to achieving a rapid go-to-market strategy and emphasizing the vertical integration of applications.
\nThe goal of this article is to share an easy way to implement Sigfox and LoRaWAN dual-mode functionality on your devices.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”886788″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”188654″]<\/p>\n

Which company finds value in implementing Sigfox + LoRaWAN dual-mode devices\/solutions and why?<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Device manufacturers: Convergence increases the cost-effectiveness of their product portfolio by enabling access to a broader market with a single product (SKU) capable of communicating with both technologies (Adeunis, Connected Inventions, Itron Sigfox and LoRa meter, Kaifa and Unabiz)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″ uncode_shortcode_id=”753477″][vc_single_image media=”1861″ media_width_percent=”90″ uncode_shortcode_id=”143848″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”111069″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”780443″]2.<\/strong> IoT Service Providers: Convergence allows them to expand their coverage with a single IoT device\/solution (API-K)<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> IoT customers (companies): end users who wish to exploit the same IoT device by connecting it from time to time to the best network, LoRaWAN or Sigfox, available depending on the geographical areas, thus avoiding running risks when the chosen network experiences interruptions or is unavailable (for example, international asset tracking with mobile devices that need the best coverage available where they are used).[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”549487″]What are the benefits for IoT customers in adopting LoRaWAN and Sigfox dual mode?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”186038″]\u2022 Expanded coverage, including LoRaWAN satellite access by Sigfox and LoRaWAN customers in multiple geographies;
\n\u2022 Single device (SKU) for both technologies to reduce costs;
\n\u2022 Improved SLA and network performance\/resilience when Sigfox and LoRaWAN are deployed simultaneously.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”142353″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”126846″]What triggered the ability to scale the Sigfox and LoRaWAN dual-mode deployment?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”124449″]Semtech now supports dual mode on 2nd and 3rd generation chipsets in the LoRa Connect and LoRa Edge portfolios in collaboration with Semtech and Unabiz.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”274183″]What is the easy-to-follow process to implement Sigfox and LoRaWAN dual mode?[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”136609″]Step 1: choose a compatible chipset from the following:<\/strong>

\n2. ST Micro STM32WL5
\n3. IoT modules Murata LoRaWAN Modules LSM 110A<\/p>\n

Step 2: integrate Sigfox and LoRaWAN opensource firmware onto the device’s external microcontroller<\/strong><\/p>\n
