A groundbreaking collaboration between LPWAN industry leaders
and LoRa Alliance® members Semtech, Actility, Arad, and Deviceroy
has the world’s first commercial implementation and successful
end-to-end interoperability test for the innovative relay feature
utilizing LoRaWAN connectivity. This cutting-edge advancement
enables LoRaWAN packets from remote, isolated or hard to reach
devices to be relayed by battery-operated relay nodes. This
coverage extension is provided through a low-cost solution further
lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the LoRaWAN
deployment. The relay feature promises to be a game changer for
LoRaWAN-based use cases such as water, gas, and electricity
metering, where stringent service level agreements demand cost
efficient and unparalleled coverage for all devices within a
geographical footprint.

Actility, Arad and Deviceroy bring implementation of Relay
utilizing LoRaWAN® to market (Graphic: Business Wire)
The LoRa Alliance is an open, non-profit association with the
mission to support and promote the global adoption of the LoRaWAN
standard. Members collaborate in a vibrant ecosystem of device
makers, solution providers, system integrators and network
operators, delivering the interoperability needed to scale IoT
across the globe, using public, private, and hybrid networks.
Crucially, the relay feature utilizing LoRaWAN is defined by the
LoRa Alliance as an integral part of the LoRaWAN standard. This
innovation aligns with the LoRa Alliance's commitment to advance
and standardize LoRaWAN-based technology to meet the evolving needs
of the IoT landscape.
Semtech, a pioneering force in LoRa technology, has seamlessly
integrated the relay feature for both end-devices and relay nodes
into their latest LoRa Basics™ Modem v4 stack. This integration
fortifies the potential of LoRaWAN to provide low cost, exceptional
coverage and connectivity across various applications.
Actility, a trailblazer in IoT connectivity solutions, has
integrated the relay feature utilizing LoRaWAN into its renowned
ThingPark™ Wireless and ThingPark™ Enterprise network platforms in
Release 7.3. This inclusion is also available in the free-to-use
Community edition of ThingPark™, which can be immediately used by
developers to test their relay implementations utilizing LoRaWAN.

Deviceroy, a key player in the IoT device industry, plays a
pivotal role with Aria Relay, serving as a powerful range extender
for LoRaWAN. Aria Relay ensures bidirectional connectivity,
enabling data between remote or isolated devices and their
destinations to flow reliably, significantly expanding network
coverage. To learn more about the Aria Relay, visit
deviceroy.com/relay.
The three vendors – Semtech, Actility, and Deviceroy – have
successfully completed interoperability testing and achieved
reliable end-to-end bidirectional communication with devices that
can connect only through a LoRaWAN-based relay. This achievement
underscores the reliability and seamlessness of the relay feature
in real-world scenarios.
Arad, a visionary in water metering solutions, is poised to
deploy the relay feature utilizing LoRaWAN within its water meter
networks. This implementation has the potential to revolutionize
utility management, offering unparalleled connectivity in even the
most challenging environments.
The introduction of the relay feature utilizing LoRaWAN signals
a new era in IoT connectivity, reshaping the possibilities for a
more connected future across industries by enabling customers to
add battery-operated, easy-to-deploy relay nodes that act as
network extenders. These relay nodes can be placed in remote
locations or in areas where signal strength is weak due to extreme
distances or circumstances, effectively extending the range of
existing gateway(s) and networks using LoRaWAN connectivity.
