TEKTELIC Communications and Actility Deliver an End-to-End Carrier-Grade LPWAN Solution for the North American IoT Market.
Actility,
the industry leader in Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) and TEKTELIC
Communications, a major provider of industrial grade LoRaWAN
IoT gateways, today announced that TEKTELIC's industry-leading Kona
Macro IOT Gateway (News - Alert) is now fully integrated with Actility's ThingPark™
Platform. The combination of these two powerful solutions creates
a highly differentiated end-to-end platform that provides significant
and immediate benefits to network operators, including day-one
scalability, carrier grade resiliency and rapid deployment, reducing the
time required to on-board vertical IOT applications.
The Kona Macro is an advanced implementation of a 72 channel LoRaWAN
gateway for the North American ISM band. It supports a number of unique
features that significantly improve RF performance. It is the first
LoRaWAN gateway on the market that supports Full Duplex operation which
permits continuous reception on all 72 uplink channels, while allowing
simultaneous transmission on all 8 of the downlink channels. By
supporting two LoRa Antennas the Kona Macro can utilize antenna
diversity to improve receiver performance in the presence of multipath
fading and on the transmit side, multiple transmit channels can be
utilized simultaneously resulting in much higher system downlink
capacity. To mitigate out-of-band interference, the Kona Macro comes
with built-in bandpass filters which reject the adjacent frequency bands
(Paging, Cellular and others) resulting in superior performance of the
overall system and network.
"The TEKTELIC Kona Macro, is an outstanding complement to our ThingsPark
Platform as it drives the type of scalability our solution was built to
support. This combination offers a superior solution for public and
private service providers that need to deploy massive scalability," says
Boris Lacroix, EVP Products at Actility.
Actility's ThingPark Suite enables scalable LPWA networks and
interoperable IoT applications and services. ThingPark Wireless is a
core network management and supervision solution for LPWA connectivity
designed from the beginning for carrier-grade solutions, and already
deployed in over half the national LPWA network rollouts globally.
ThingPark OS is a central IoT management service to connect sensors to
applications with bidirectional interactions. ThingPark X is a data
analytics and control framework which exposes data from connected things
to applications and connects with cloud platforms, and also offers off
the shelf IoT industrial applications. ThingPark Market is a B2B
ecommerce platform aggregating, distributing and connecting IoT devices
and applications to the ThingPark platform.
"ThingPark offers a compelling platform with the most comprehensive
suite of IoT software and applications. The class-leading features of
the Kona Macro Gateway integrated on the ThingPark platform will make it
quick and straightforward for our customers to deploy, manage, and
monetise their LPWA Networks," says Tektelic CTO David Tholl.
Visitors to Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) (Feb. 25-Mar 3) in Barcelona will be
able to see the Kona Macro Gateway and discover the benefits of the
combined solution within Actility's booth (8.0C3).
