SparkLAN's LoRa IoT Module has Passed LoRa Alliance's LoRaWAN™ Certification

TAIPEI, Taiwan - March 28, 2018 - PRLog -- 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 representative or visit SparkLAN's Web site at http://www.sparklan.com
