Kick-off workshop for IAC members on Innovations in long range sub-GHz networks
The goals of this workshop are to
- share the latest innovations in sub-GHz wireless networks for IoT, as well as our latest research results
- understand and discuss the challenges of the IAC members and use cases
- tune our research plan and Proof-of-Concept demonstrators based on input from the IAC members
- provide an excellent networking opportunity with about 40 Flemish innovative companies in the world of IoT
- give the IAC members the opportunity to set up a (demo) booth
As an IAC member, this workshop is not to be missed if you want to
- get an extensive overview of the different LPWAN technologies
- understand the possibilities of LoRa and SigFox coexistence, and LoRa scalability
- get an insight in the regulatory aspects of sub-GHz communication.
