This allows LoRa RF Technology to offer added functionality for a variety of applications without requiring extra processing capability, increased footprint, more battery power, or expensive add-ons to the sensors.

David Pringle, a writer and editor for Mobile World Live focused on the telecoms, media and technology sectors, will moderate the panel. Representing Semtech is Richard Lansdowne, Senior Director of Network System Solutions from the Company’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group.

Registration to attend the webinar is now open. The webinar will be archived after the initial broadcast and be available for review on MobileWorldLive.com.
