Let’s build this thing together!
Get started today:
The world’s largest LoRaWAN® community can now build global IoT networks on a single frequency.
The Things Industries brings LoRa® 2.4GHz to The Things Network
The Things Industries announces support for LoRa® 2.4GHz in The Things Network community network and its open-source stack.
The globally harmonized 2.4GHz frequency enables companies to use their devices across all continents, pushing IoT limits even further in demanding environments.
LoRa 2.4GHz has seen steady adoption since its introduction a year back. This includes gateway introductions by manufacturers such as Multitech, Mikrotik and IMST. As well as device and module makers such as Miromico, mcf88, Embit and Vicotee.
Maritime solution providers such as Wilhelmsen are also on board. Wilhelmsen has partnered with The Things Industries (TTI) and selected Semtech’s LoRa devices as the foundation for its new global 2.4GHz maritime IoT of the Seas platform to deliver an ecosystem of cost-effective, robust and proven IoT solutions and make them available to its diverse global customer base, at “land and sea”.
Wilhelmsen can now collect more accurate data from a ship's assets, such as the condition of machinery and engines, leaks, environmental measures, asset location, etc. The data is used to perform preventive maintenance, reducing the risk of ships grounding or incidents and thus reducing costs.
We already see great interest from the maritime and logistics sector to adopt the new global frequency, enabling low power, long-range communication using the standardized 2.4 GHz channels. We are excited to enable new use cases by supporting 2.4 GHz LoRa in both our open source as well as our enterprise LoRaWAN stack.
Johan Stokking, Tech lead The Things Network & CTO The Things IndustriesIt’s a matter of time before other verticals will see the benefits of LoRa 2.4GHz.

The Things Industries partners with Deutsche Telekom IoT to combine the power of LoRaWAN® and LTE-M
Universe, February 2, 2021: The Things Industries (TTI), a global LoRaWAN® Network provider, is partnering with Deutsche Telekom, one of the world’s leading telecommunication providers. Partners are combining their LTE-M and LoRaWAN capabilities to provide an out-of-the-box connectivity solution allowing for easy-to-setup and secure device-to-cloud communication.
LTE-M features very good signal penetration, well-suited for standalone, managed gateways inside, for example, smart buildings. The solution will therefore start with a smart building starter kit, comprising a pre-configured LoRaWAN gateway from Mikrotik, connected over a LTE-M backhaul to TTI’s device and data platform.
Use of LTE-M reduces costs compared to LTE because of more affordable hardware, and lower usage costs. Ease of use for the customer is guaranteed through no-touch provisioning of gateways, as they come pre-registered and only need powering up when installed. The gateway optionally supports LoRa 2.4GHz for global deployments.
This collaboration is a further step on our way to an open IoT network. New interfaces allow us to unlock the full potential of IoT.
Mangal Afzal, Deutsche Telekom IoTThe expected efforts enable IoT to move from local installations to large-scale deployments while addressing three major topics in the IoT market today: security, scalability and total cost of ownership. The partnership introduces a convergence of connectivity solutions on the market that brings the high degree of scalability and manageable costs that local IoT networks need.
To support IoT deployments in Germany and the Netherlands, an Early Access offer will be launched with LTE-M backhaul for solution providers and system integrators.

]]>The Things Industries and Senet announce the interconnection of their LoRaWAN® networks to The Things Industries public Join-Server to simplify end device provisioning and offer IoT solution providers the flexibility to subscribe to multiple Networks.
Senet and The Things Industries Connect Their LoRaWAN® Networks
Amsterdam, January 30 2020: The Things Industries and Senet, Inc. a leading provider of cloud-based software and services platforms to enable global connectivity and the on-demand network build-out for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announce the interconnection of their LoRaWAN® networks to The Things Industries LoRaWAN public Join-Server, giving device manufacturers and solution providers the opportunity to provision end-devices once and the freedom to choose to deploy those devices on either Senet’s or The Things Industries’ global networks. Senet built their integration to The Things Industries’ securely managed Join-Server interfaces using LoRaWAN compliant back-end interfaces and recently standardized enhancements supporting Join-Server re-provisioning. This announcement was made at The Things Conference held in Amsterdam on January 30-31, 2020.
Both Senet and The Things Industries are active contributors and leaders within the LoRa Alliance and believe that only through standardization and interoperability is it possible to realize massive-scale and global deployments of IoT solutions. The result of this collaboration is to further advance the democratization of IoT, removing the friction associated with massive-scale provisioning of end-devices and returning more choice to solution providers, thereby benefiting the entire ecosystem.
Standardization between LoRaWAN networks and interoperability between network providers is the best way forward, leading to global LoRaWAN adoption. We put end-users in the position to choose their preferred secure LoRaWAN network, not only during the initial installation, but also during the 10 years of a connected device’s lifetime.
Johan Stokking, CTO of The Things Industries and Tech Lead of The Things NetworkMassively scaled IoT deployments can only be achieved through the optimization of not only the cost and form-factor of the end-devices, but most importantly, through the optimization of the manufacturing and deployment process itself. Through this collaboration, Senet and TTI are providing a stream-lined, zero-touch ability to subscribe end-devices to multiple networks – unlocking the ability to quickly and easily deploy devices in any situation.
Dave Kjendal, Senet's CTOAn interoperability milestone was achieved in October 2017 when the LoRa-Alliance released the LoRaWAN Back-end Interfaces V1.0 specification (source). The standardization of the inner workings of the Network Servers, Join Servers and Application Servers laid the groundwork for interconnecting LoRaWAN networks on a global scale. The document specifies the role of the different backend components of a LoRaWAN Network, allowing for interoperability and interconnection between networks. The LoRaWAN Back-End Interfaces defines an architectural component called the Join-Server and specifies its interfaces. This component stores the end device’s security credentials and generates the session keys required for secure and private communications.
Representatives from both Senet and The Things Industries were on hand at The Things Conference to discuss this collaboration and how LoRaWAN has become the dominant standard for unlicensed Low Power Wide Area Network connectivity across markets and applications.

]]>The Things Industries launches a secure device pre-provisioning platform with zero vendor lock-in and being operator agnostic to simply LoRaWAN deployments.
The Things Industries launches Global Join Server with a series of device makers to simplify LoRaWAN® device provisioning
Amsterdam, January 30 2020: The Things Industries, a global LoRaWAN® service provider launches a secure device pre-provisioning platform with zero vendor lock-in and being operator agnostic. This was announced at The Things Conference in Amsterdam, with various manufacturers from the ecosystem showcasing their end devices using this service.
LoRaWAN is known for its ability to transmit small data packets over long distances in the unlicensed spectrum. Although it is not suitable for video transmission or image sharing, it is ideal for larger applications involving low-power sensors that send small amounts of data over long distances. Examples include automatic watering machines in the agricultural sector, intelligent lighting in industrial buildings, and meter reading in utilities. There are several reasons for LoRaWAN's interest in the low-power IoT market. Firstly, the standard is open, which means that anyone in the world can deploy their own network for their use case, they do not have to depend on telecom operators to set up the infrastructure. Second, because of its openness and the vast ecosystem of more than 500 companies, they work closely together and share their expertise to develop and promote the LoRaWAN standard.
What is a Join Server
Join Server is a component of the LoRaWAN server defined in the LoRa Alliance® specification, its role is to store root keys, generate session keys and to send those securely to the Network Server and Application Server of choice. The device contains the same root keys, which can be provisioned as part of end-devices assembly, distribution or upon installation. The Things Industries offers to device makers, module makers and distributors a network agnostic, (self)hosted and optionally white-labelled Join Server. This allows for secure end-devices provisioning without network lock-in and knowing beforehand which network the end-user will select. No need for keeping several SKUs any longer. Manufacturers only need to provide the keys to the end-device in one safe place. After selling the device, the buyer uses a one-click device claiming procedure to transfer ownership in the Join Server. Subsequently the owner can configure the device to any LoRaWAN compliant network. The end-user claims ownership through the device claiming procedure (web interface, API, or a QR code scanning app) and selects its preferred network and application server. This activation flow can be automated end-to-end. For the end-user, this makes the process of device activation more secure, faster, cheaper, less error-prone and more flexible at the same time giving the flexibility to switch network and application at any time.
We believe that security is for security and not for commercial vendor lock-in. We have build in features that will make sure that the device maker is never locked in to any network. Like for instance your sim card is doing in 4G/5G
Wienke Giezeman, Co-Founder and CEO of The Things IndustriesThe Join Server is now available for customers of The Things Industries, The Things Network users and customers of Senet. Prominent LoRaWAN device makers and systems integrators have access to the Global Join Server allowing them to securely provision their end devices.
Secure Element with Microchip adoption
Furthermore, device makers and end-users can strengthen the authentication process by implementing a secure hardened key storage both at the node and in the LoRaWAN server. This prevents the exposure of authentication keys to software, firmware, manufacturing sites, end-users and other third parties. The secure elements from Microchip —ATECC608A-TNGLORA for The Things Enterprise Stack is pre-provisioned with the corresponding authentication keys and provide a JIL “high” rated secure key storage to isolate keys in the nodes. This is especially valuable in LoRa systems that are based on a shared key security model and leverage a wide variety of traditional low-power microcontrollers.

The Things Industries to provide LoRaWAN® Satellite connectivity for evaluation in 2020
Amsterdam, 30 January 2020: The Things Industries, a global LoRaWAN® network service provider, in partnership with Lacuna Space will be the first LoRaWAN operator to be routing LoRaWAN messages received by their space gateways for end users. This announcement was made earlier today at The Things Conference with a live demonstration of messages being routed via the satellite transmission. With the help of this service, LoRaWAN operators will be able to extend their network by providing satellite connectivity to fill voids between the terrestrial gateways out of cellular reach and give continuous global coverage.
LoRaWAN is a long range IoT technology that is gaining global traction. The Things Industries provides a global network with a platform to setup base station (LoRaWAN gateways) infrastructure at low cost with carrier grade capabilities. Lacuna Space is set to launch a series of LoRaWAN gateways into orbit capable of receiving LoRaWAN messages from the ground. After an initial commissioning and experimental phase, the first 3 months of operation will be an evaluation service allowing the global LoRaWAN ecosystem to test the service which will be a paid service in the future.
This partnership brings all the features of the network server of The Things Industries, directly to the LoRaWAN space ecosystem. This includes features such as flexible deployment of the server, support for easy provisioning of devices via QR code app and a network agnostic Join Server which safely stores the root keys of devices. Getting telemetry data via satellites will be as easy as launching an account and activating through the Lacuna Space virtual network operator while keeping the license fees linked to your existing cloud account or use the pay per use option. Later this year, an evaluation program will open to IoT space customers looking to get started with their use case.
Lacuna Space is launching a constellation of low-orbit satellites which receive messages from LoRa based devices on the ground. At about 500km above the surface, these satellites will circle around the earth and pass over the poles every 100 minutes. These messages are sent using the LoRaWAN protocol, which is suitable for devices needing long battery life and telemetry data. The satellite stores the data for a short time after which it is relayed to an application on a terrestrial network. This makes the service it an ideal option for use cases such as asset tracking, smart agriculture, monitoring in remote areas.
This is putting the power of space in the hands of everybody. With exponential innovation as a result. Democratizing this common space, called space.
Wienke Giezeman, CEO, The Things IndustriesWe are driven by the vision of connecting billions of devices, even in the most remote places on the globe, using open standards. Network integration is the second hardest problem for the IoT after connectivity. The integration with The Things Industries allows easy transfer of messages from the Lacuna Space network to the end application. This announcement builds on a longstanding collaboration which allows the customers of The Things Industries to access the Lacuna Space network at a touch of a button!.
