IoT industry had a fast development in the past two years. This to large extent profits from the development and breakthrough of LPWAN.According to data statistics from GSMA, by 2020, the whole IoT industry will have greater development power, especially the application of LPWAN coonectivity will account for around 60% of the whole IoT connectivity.  With the intelligent upgrading, LPWAN will be widely applied in new solution such as parking, transportation, security, meter reading, environmental inspection, structure detection, etc.

Application of LPWAN is mainly devided to two mainstream camps,NB-IoT by 3GPP licensed band based on cellular mobile communication technology and LoRa or SigFox based on non-licensed spectrum. Compared with SigFox and NB-IoT, LoRa is more mature, earlier commercialized.

And also LoRa has more advantages in stability, penetrability and anti-interference, which is suitable for detection application about lower frequency data collection. Gateway is essential in conectivity of LoRa with Ethernet, node will transfer data to gateway, and then the gatway will process and transfer data to cloud by 4G, WIFI or Ethernet. On the contrary, command will be transmitted by network to gateway, then gateway will parse the command, and emit it to appointed node to execute the command.

Advantage of FETMX6UL-C2

The FETMX6UL-C2 is an system on module with lower power performance designed based on NXP i.MX6UL with frequency of 528MHz, its unique PMS makes it lower power performance than ARM9 series items. The SoM has rich sources that it's available for dual Ethernet, dual USB host ports, and also SPI bus. It has excellent stability performance in tough working environment with temp width ranges from -40℃ to +85℃.
