Semtech Corporation has announced availability of its one-channel LoRaWAN hub reference design and evaluation kit targeting smaller scale network deployments such as for SMB/SME and smart home applications.
Recent insights from Omdia predict LoRaWAN to have the greatest annual growth, at 30% over the 2023–30 forecast period. “It is a comparatively recent technology finding a niche in longer-distance, lower-power applications like irrigation systems and security sensors for property perimeters. As a sub-GHz protocol, it also has advantages in multi-unit installations. It penetrates glass, steel and concrete easily, giving it a significant advantage,” said Edward Wilford, the senior research director at Omdia. “The cost effectiveness of Semtech’s one-channel hub aligns well with such smaller-scale applications.”
Olivier Beaujard, a board member, officer of the board and chairman of regulatory affairs for the LoRa Alliance, the senior director at LoRa ecosystem for Semtech, said, “LoRaWAN continues to be a transformative industry catalyst for a more sustainable future. Supported by a thriving LoRaWAN ecosystem, Semtech’s one-channel hub reference design unlocks new use cases and opportunities for adoption in new markets that stand to benefit from LoRa’s long-range, low-power capabilities.”
The one-channel hub gateway evaluation kit (LRWHHUB1EVK1A) provides a turnkey solution for low cost, basic access LoRaWAN network connectivity. Compatible with several Semtech LoRa sub-GHz transceivers, the reference design includes a low-cost Espressif MCU and LCD display for simple user operation.
– Compatible LoRa ICs: SX1261, SX1262, LR1110, LR1121
– Evaluation kit includes PCBs and antenna
Semtech’s demos in booth #C01 will showcase its latest LoRaWAN and IoT solutions. The conference agenda also includes Semtech IoT experts in keynote, panel, and workshop discussions.

Technology company Hunan Global Messenger Technology has launched a wildlife tracker designed for use by scientific research organisations and national parks around the world. Weighing just 2.2 g, the ultra-lightweight ‘HQBG1202’ can be attached to fauna weighing less than 100 g, making it suitable, for example, for tracking smaller bird species’ without burdening them. The device allows for precise location tracking through the Nordic nRF9160 SiP’s combination of cellular network location data and GNSS trilateration.
The HQBG1202 collects a wide range of multi-dimensional data including latitude, longitude, speed, acceleration, altitude, Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP), Vertical Dilution of Precision (VDOP), activity level, body temperature and Overall Dynamic Body Acceleration (ODBA). The HQBG1202 can collect 1440 bits of data, and 12,000 sets of acceleration data each day, using the nRF9160 SiP’s powerful 64 MHz Arm® Cortex-M33 processor with generous 1 MB Flash and 256 KB RAM.
“We have supplied wildlife satellite tracking equipment, technology, and data support to over 300 scientific research teams and management units worldwide,” said Chen Zhengrong, the technical director at Global Messenger. “Our efforts have successfully tracked and monitored more than 20,000 individual animals, collecting over 80 million data points.”
Using the nRF9160 SiP’s multimode LTE-M/NB-IoT modem with integrated RF Front End (RFFE), this device transmits the collected data to the Cloud, where it can then be accessed by scientific organisations through the corresponding website, relevant software (for PC), or smartphone app.
