India’s Tata Communications has said it had successfully conducted trials of new Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) based on LoRa technology for connected devices and cutting edge Internet of Things (IoT) applications across two Indian metros – Mumbai and Delhi.
These trials are likely to bolster the successful deployment of IoT applications in India. Tata Communications plans to roll out India’s first LoRa network across the country, with full coverage starting in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, soon. The new network is a super low-power, secure, bi-directional, communication solution, which any organisation can use to connect objects and innovative applications simply and energy efficiently, overcoming high power consumption challenges with existing wireless solutions. The first phase targets to cover 400 million people across Tier 1, 2, 3 and 4 cities.
Today, over 24 per cent of the world’s Internet routes travel over Tata Communications’ network and the company is the only Tier-1 provider that is in the top five by routes in five continents.
