SparkLAN Communications, Inc., is one of the worldwide
leading wireless networking solution providers, today announced that its
WLRS-590 LoRa module has passed the LoRa Alliance’s LoRaWAN™ Certification
Program and all relevant tests in conjunction with the LoRaWAN™ Certification
Program and is deemed compliant to it meet the functional requirements of the
LoRaWAN 1.0.2 protocol for operation in the 868 MHz band. This ensures that
designers can quickly and easily integrate their end devices into any LoRaWAN
network. The LoRaWAN standard enables low-data-rate Internet of Things (IoT)
and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) wireless communication with long range, a battery
long life, and the ability to connect millions of wireless sensor nodes to
LoRaWAN gateways.

The launch of an accredited certification program is a
key step toward the LoRa Alliance’s mission to standardize an open
specification for secure, carrier-grade, low-power wide area networks (LPWAN).
This certification Program will provide assurance to end customers that their
application-specific end devices will operate on any LoRaWAN network, which is
a crucial requirement for the global deployment of the IoT using LPWAN.
The WLRS-590 module comes with the LoRaWAN protocol
stack, so it can easily connect with the established and rapidly expanding LoRa
Alliance infrastructure—including both privately managed local area networks
(LAN) and telecom-operated public networks —to create Low Power Wide Area
Networks (LPWAN) with nationwide coverage. This stack integration enables the
module to be used UART interface.
The WLRS-590 provides them with the ability to secure
their network communication using AES128 encryption.
With its scalability, robust communication, mobility
and the ability to operate in harsh outdoor environments, the WLRS-590 is well
suited for a broad range of low-data-rate wireless monitoring and control
designs. Example IoT and M2M applications include: Smart Cities ( street
lights, parking), Energy Measurement (electricity/water/gas smart meters), and
Industrial/Commercial/ Automation (smart factory, security system, lighting of
dock).
SparkLAN’s WLRS-590 is available now for volume
production. For additional information, contact any SparkLAN sales
