Chirp joins industry body to grow the IoT industry across software-based LPWAN protocols
Decentralized telecommunications network Chirp is pleased to announce that it has joined the mioty® alliance, the leading organization for Massive Internet of Things (IoT) applications that brings together industry and community for robust, efficient connectivity solutions.
The mioty alliance promotes the adoption of mioty (My Internet of Things) – a software-based low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) protocol developed to overcome wireless connectivity limitations. The protocol boasts best-in-class reliability and scalability and is designed for massive industrial and commercial IoT deployments.
Thanks to the Telegram Splitting Multiple Access (TSMA) method, data is transmitted in several smaller sub-packets at different times and frequencies, which ensures high interference immunity and extremely low power consumption. This is particularly useful in the smart city and smart building sectors with many end devices, with applications including sensor data transmission and status updates.
While decentralization has proven effective in expanding Radio Access Networks, relying solely on LoRaWAN does not address the fundamental issue of fragmentation within the IoT space. Chirp’s goal is to create a unified Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem that seamlessly connects devices, regardless of their wireless protocols. In this ecosystem, Chirp’s community will be able to operate the network protocol that is in the highest demand, allowing the market to determine the types of coverage needed and where.
By joining the mioty alliance, Chirp is expanding its reach and adding support for additional wireless protocols. In return, mioty has the opportunity to grow its technology globally through Chirp’s decentralized community of Keepers, who provide coverage through Chirp’s antennas and miners. This will further enhance the adoption and effectiveness of mioty’s solutions across diverse markets.
Commenting on the announcement, Tim Kravchunovsky, Founder and CEO of Chirp, says: “Chirp’s mission is to simplify usage and eliminate barriers in the IoT landscape – we believe end users shouldn’t need to concern themselves with different technologies or understand their intricacies. As one of the early members of the mioty alliance, we will have the opportunity to shape the future of the mioty protocol and promote its use across the IoT network.”
Peter Hedberg, General Manager of mioty alliance, adds:
“mioty® is on a journey to become a worldwide standard for massive IoT applications. The technology is well proven by now, especially in Europe, and the mioty® Alliance is set for expansion. Chirp’s know-how and position as an Enterprise IoT provider adds tremendous value to a big chunk of the mioty® ecosystem and will open up new and mutual opportunities.”
