Semtech Announces Open-Source Software for LoRa-based Gateways

New packet-forwarder protocol designed by Semtech allows secure, resource-efficient data communication and remote management across the LoRaWAN-based ecosystem. Semtech Corporation today announced a new open-source packet forwarder for Linux-based gateways that allows secure, resource-efficient data communication and remote management, critical features for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The same features have also been integrated on a miniature indoor gateway, 700 of which The Things Industries will distribute at the Things Conference from Jan.31 to Feb.1 (The Things Gateway Indoor). Such miniature gateways, integrated with Semtech’s LoRa® technology, are ideal for generating dense network coverage with minimal capital expenditure and no operational expenditure.
