A report titled briefing for IoT (internet of things) solution specialists from analyst firm Beecham Research highlights the achievement of LoRaWAN. The briefing indicates shipments of LoRa chipsets as used for LoRaWAN surpasses other chip shipments by more than two to one, stating that “LoRaWAN is already the leading low power wide area network (LPWAN) technology for IoT applications.”

Beecham Research’s related report, primary research of IoT sectors, conclusions and recommendations report, notes that end-users are collaborating with IoT personnels to productively deploy solutions and maximise ROI (return on investment). The briefing states: “The influence of specialist solution providers/system integrators in the buying process is high. These already have strong connections in their sectors and are often treated as technical references for details on the elements of IoT solutions, including connectivity.”

“Choosing the right connectivity technology for a use case is the most important decision an end-user will make. Some may not have the in-house expertise to compare requirements to technology options; solutions providers help them find the right-fit technology. Solutions providers analyse use cases, provide education on available technologies, and allow project managers from city planners to farmers to manufacturers to envision the full scope of an IoT deployment.” says Donna Moore, chairwoman and CEO of LoRa Alliance.

“System integrators (SIs) bring those ideas to life by integrating IoT sensor data into a platform that consolidates data from numerous end-user platforms. Increasingly, we find that their support of end users and the strength of the LoRaWAN ecosystem come together to maintain LoRaWAN as the leading LPWAN in the marketplace.” adds Moore.

“Working with numerous global companies in designing and implementing IoT solutions, when we address the connectivity aspects, we always show our clients the pros and cons of each available option, and LoRaWAN is one of the options being explored. An interesting observation is that in several cases, LoRaWAN proved to be the final choice, even though it was initially not considered by our client. It is particularly useful in cases where long-range connectivity needs to be established in conjunction with devices’ low power consumption, while real-time low latency communication is not a key business requirement.” says Miroslaw Ryba, partner at EY IoT consulting services.

“The role of a system integrator is to write embedded application code enabling devices to send data to cloud or server databases. That expertise is only necessary during design and development which means you do not need to add head count to successfully architect and deploy a solution.” says Bob Blanchard, manager of business development, Americas, Klika. “Partnerships with system integrators, are invaluable to startups like Subeca. You get world-class talent that seamlessly integrates into your teams for critical workloads.” says Patrick Keaney, CEO of Subeca, Inc.

“The measure of an IoT deployment’s success is how well it integrates with an end-user’s present technologies and infrastructure. If a company doesn’t have a team to work on a large deployment, integrators can handle it. Making massive deployments run smoothly, integrating new and existing data streams into one dashboard, and enabling end-users to realise deployment benefits quickly, including ROI and sustainability goals.” says Jaroslaw Mroczkowski, strategy advisor at Emitel.

As LoRaWAN adoption explodes, more and more companies want to hire professionals with good experience. In response to this market need, LoRa Alliance has created LoRaWAN accredited professional programme, which validates LoRaWAN technical knowledge, and helps end-users hire people with skill specifications they require.
