Camarillo, California-based Semtech Corporation has teamed up with Tata Communications to launch India’s first applications center to facilitate LoRa, or long range networks, technology in Mumbai.
The Economic Times reports a joint statement by the two companies which said that this center will allow enterprise customers and Internet of Things solution providers to deploy and test their applications over a LoRaWAN-based low power, wide area network.
