LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) emerges as a leading wireless communication protocol in IoT landscape. Drawing its unique characteristics from the LoRa technology, enabling it to provide secure, reliable, and low-cost communication over long distances.
The network’s ability to connect battery operated devices over ranges of up to 15 kilometers makes it ideal for various use cases such as smart cities, agriculture, and industrial monitoring. Further, LoRaWAN addresses the critical needs of modern IoT ecosystems, including bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, and localization services.
As the adoption of the LoRaWAN protocol grows, so does the importance of understanding the licensing landscape surrounding Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) related to LoRaWAN. In this post, we will navigate the SEP for LoRaWAN and explore possible reasons for the absence of SEPs for the LoRaWAN protocol.
There are no declared Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) for Recommendation Y.4480 in the ITU-T database, and it is not listed in the drop-down menu for Y.4480. This absence does not imply that there are no SEPs but rather that none have been formally declared to the ITU.
If you are curious about the absence of SEPs for LoRaWAN protocol, here are a few possible reasons:
The LoRa Alliance ecosystem is rapidly expanding, with nearly 500 members, out of which there are 18 sponsor members, including:
