Companies collaborate on cloud-based tracking system

Semtech Corporation has announced a collaboration with TagIO to create a low-power asset management solution using TagoIO’s own IoT platform

According to the companies, the integrated functionality of these two IoT clouds builds on LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN protocol to simplify the development of innovative low-power geolocation and asset management applications.

Accelerated development

“By collaborating with Semtech, TagoIO aims to provide customers and developers with the means to create new, flexible and easy-to-use LoRa Edge-based asset trackers for an out-of-the-box, accelerated development experience,” said Fabio Rosa, CEO of TagoIO.

“Integrating TagoIO’s cloud platform with network servers and Semtech’s LoRa cloud geolocation services [is] a comprehensive and concerted effort into the chip’s resources, resulting in a best-in-class, low-power solution for tracking.”

TagoIO’s claims its cloud dashboards, analytics and interface capabilities provide “valuable elements” for developers to test new LoRa Edge-based tracking solutions and expand the flexibility of asset management applications.

Customers can build their own affordable applications based on the new asset tracker to monitor the location of assets in nearly any vertical, including smart cities, logistics, security, services, or agriculture.

“The new tracking solution allows developers as well as enterprises to quickly create proven geolocation applications and bring them to market”

Leveraging LoRa devices’ connectivity advantages enables solutions to deploy quickly, scale based on need, and deliver a quick return on investment (ROI), the companies said.

“The new tracking solution allows developers as well as enterprises to quickly create proven geolocation applications and bring them to market, and the integrated TagoIO Cloud platform provides increased accessibility in data management to drive down costs,” added Sree Durbha, director of product management in Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group.

Semtech Corporation is a supplier of high-performance analogue and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms for infrastructure, consumer and industrial equipment.

Semtech’s LoRa device-to-cloud platform is a long range, low power solution for IoT applications, intended to enable the rapid development and deployment of ultra-low power IoT networks, gateways, sensors, module products, and IoT services worldwide.

TagoIO offers an end-to-end cloud platform that aims to transform the way businesses create value from connected products and user interactions. Under the PaaS model, TagoIO said it provides all the functionalities to perform: device management; data storage; real-time data visualisation; user management; custom analytics; and notifications.
