LoRa Alliance Includes SCHC Over LoRaWAN Certification for Enabling IPv6 Solutions
November 29, 2022
News
Fremont, Calif. The LoRa Alliance revealed that LoRaWAN certification is accessible for end-devices utilizing static context header compression (SCHC). The accreditation of IPv6 over LoRaWAN using SCHC validates that the end-device reaches the operational constraints of the LoRaWAN IPv6 Adaptation Layer Specification TS010-1.0.0. A precondition of SCHC over LoRaWAN is the end-devices in use need to currently be LoRaWAN Certified.
Donna Moore, CEO and Chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance said, “Certifying IPv6 over LoRaWAN for end-devices gives end users the level of certainty needed to deploy and benefit from IP-based solutions. With vendors now able to certify LoRaWAN end-devices using SCHC, customers can confidently commit to massive utilities deployments. This will further drive digital industrialization across a wide variety of new markets and applications, which will in turn enable massive IoT.”
Application areas where LoRaWAN metering is currently being deployed are proactive consumption monitoring, leak detection warnings, automatic shutoffs, and solutions for balancing electricity supply and demand. It is ideal for recognizing and controlling unmeasured losses, conserve energy, efficient water, and gas metering by communicating over open specifications facility enabling scale for expanding markets.
Moore continues, “As deployments continue to grow to the tens or hundreds of millions of devices, the importance of using open standards has never been greater.”
The full testing suite for SCHC over LoRaWAN has been added to the LoRaWAN Certification Test Tool (LCTT).
