It provides a cost-effective and very low-power solution for indoor/outdoor asset tracking applications. LoRa Cloud Locator is based on fully managed technology and offers easy operation for customers to evaluate LoRa Edge deployments across multiple trackers in the ecosystem, whether on a private or public LoRaWAN® network.
“Asset tracking is one of the most common applications across vertical markets,” said Karthik Ranjan, Head of LoRa Cloud Solutions and Partnerships in Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “Whether it’s tracking wheelchairs in a hospital, shopping carts in a store, pallets in a supply chain, livestock on a farm, or pets in a residential area, asset location is everywhere. Semtech’s LoRa Cloud Locator is the fastest way for customers to see the benefits of LoRa Edge trackers for themselves by integrating them into the application and viewing their location on the map.”.
LoRa Cloud Locator is specifically designed to work with trackers using Semtech's LR-series LoRa Edge chips with minimal effort. Once configured on the service, along with Semtech's LoRa® wireless RF technology for cloud transmission, customers can view the tracker's location on a map, typically in under
15 minutes.
“Semtech’s LoRa Cloud Locator is the most efficient and fastest way to evaluate the LoRa Edge platform, as it can measure the technology’s performance and differentiate when a device is being tracked using GNSS or Wi-Fi. With the Wi-Fi location feature, we can now receive GNSS signals without being penalized by the prohibitive power consumption of traditional GNSS technologies,” stated Maximiliano Ruiz, founder and CEO of Galileo RTLS. “With LoRa Edge, it’s much easier to locate assets worldwide with unprecedented battery life.”.
“After experiencing LoRa Cloud Locator firsthand, I can say that the service was quick and easy to set up, allowing us to efficiently test its accuracy and responsiveness in various environments,” said Tim Guiterman, CEO of InfiSense. “Our test results confirmed the wide range of applications that will directly benefit from the precise geolocation and very low power consumption of the LoRa Edge platform. We believe that this high-resolution tracking, combined with the long battery life, will revolutionize our cold chain and supply chain monitoring projects.”.
Those interested in LoRa Cloud Locator can purchase a LoRa Edge-compatible tracker, create a LoRa Cloud Locator account, and discover how LoRa Edge enables new applications across the global supply chain. To access the service, customers can visit locator.loracloud.com, where they can view various compatible trackers from Semtech, Browan, Digital Matter, and Miromico. Orders are routed through CalChip Connect and Indesmatech, two leading LoRaWAN hardware distributors in North America and Europe, respectively. After purchasing a tracker, customers can access the application, register their tracker, and view its location on a map via a web browser, desktop computer, or mobile device.
