RAKwireless has announced a partnership with MOKO SMART, a manufacturer of Bluetooth and beacon technology. This partnership focuses on hybrid solutions for precise LoRaWAN location tracking and efficient beacon LoRaWAN backhaul systems.
Collaboration through Hybrid Technology: Beacon with LoRaWAN backhaul
One of the aspects of this partnership is the combination of LoRaWAN and Bluetooth technologies—a true hybrid solution that showcases the power of collaboration in action.
LoRaWAN offers long-range connectivity and is highly stable due to its star network topology, making it ideal for backhaul communication in large-scale deployments. On the other hand, Bluetooth beacons excel in providing precise indoor tracking, making them indispensable for applications such as asset tracking in warehouses, hospitals, and schools.
By integrating these two technologies, the hybrid solution unlocks new possibilities:
- Seamless indoor-outdoor tracking with pinpoint accuracy.
- Scalable, reliable networks with fewer infrastructure requirements.
- Efficient power consumption, extending device lifespans and reducing maintenance costs.
This hybrid solution exemplifies the best of both worlds, combining Bluetooth’s precision with LoRaWAN’s scalability to deliver solutions that are both practical.
Ecosystem collaboration: The key to LoRaWAN’s success
The LoRaWAN ecosystem has grown because of its emphasis on collaboration over competition. Unlike NB-IoT, LoRaWAN has built a robust community that fosters cooperation and accelerates innovation.
From its early days, the LoRaWAN community understood the importance of ecosystem building. Collaboration across hardware manufacturers, solution providers, and integrators has enabled LoRaWAN to mature into a versatile, reliable and highly adopted Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
This partnership between RAKwireless and MOKO SMART reflects this collaborative spirit. By using each other’s expertise, the companies are contributing to the broader LoRaWAN ecosystem, strengthening its position as the preferred IoT connectivity choice.
This partnership strengthens both companies and delivers value to customers, enabling faster, more efficient IoT adoption.
A shared vision: Empowering solution creators and customers
At the heart of this partnership is a shared vision: providing real value to users by addressing their challenges and accelerating IoT deployment. Both RAKwireless and MOKO SMART recognise the growing demand for hybrid IoT solutions that combine the strengths of multiple technologies to solve real-world problems.
This partnership brings together the strengths of beacon technology for precise indoor tracking and LoRaWAN for reliable, long-range backhaul. By using each company’s expertise, we aim to deliver scalable, cost-effective and easy-to-manage IoT solutions that empower innovation and drive adoption across industries.
Together, RAKwireless and MOKO SMART are committed to enabling solution creators to build impactful IoT solutions faster and smarter. We believe this collaboration will play a role in advancing the IoT industry, creating opportunities for businesses and improving lives worldwide.
