Embedded Insiders: Google joins LoRa Alliance, adds Android Things

Google announced its Android Things initiative and Google Cloud has joined the LoRa Alliance.

The Embedded Insiders talk Google, for two separate reasons. Are those two things connected? We’ll let you decide. First, Google announced its Android Things initiative. What’s the end game? Getting more devices into the Google Cloud? Probably. 

Either separately, or if you’re into conspiracy theories, not separately, Google Cloud has joined the LoRa Alliance. Not much detail here, so we were left to speculate, which is exactly what we did.
