Additionally, it is the lightest device with the longest battery life for tracking applications in the outdoor sports market. "We're genuinely honored to be named the winner of the LoRaWAN Challenge," said Fabien Letort, Co-founder of Tech4Race. "The LoRaWAN network is often used for industrial and logistical purposes, however, the Challenge offered an opportunity for us to showcase another aspect of its usefulness, specifically in sports. It has been amazing to meet the other IoT start-ups using LoRaWAN here in Barcelona and even in our short time here we have learned much from them." Tech4Race was declared the winner after all six finalists delivered live pitches of their products today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The other finalists included: Transponders for Small Aircraft and Small Maritime Vessels by FAME Inc. (Philippines) FAME makes air and sea travel safer through the use of its affordable and easily deployable transponders for small aircraft and small maritime vessels. The transponders installed on airplanes and boats use LoRaWAN to send location data to gateways deployed on ports and airports and have sensors incorporated to send telemetry data. The gateways send the data to the cloud that is displayed on a web and mobile platform. The transponders are customizable, durable and can even offer instant messaging if connected to a phone or tablet. Global Environmental Monitoring Network by MagnaSCI SRL (Romania) The uRADMonitor brings together IOT technology, sensors, and big data, so connectivity is essential. uRADMonitors are IoT devices equipped with sensors for monitoring the air quality of cities, offices, and homes. A growing global network of 800 such devices in more than 40 countries generate uniform and comparable environmental data to help understand the big picture on pollution. LoRaWAN empowered MagnaSCI's sensors to transmit data in the most convenient way, even in remote locations. Insulclock ® by Insulcloud S.L. (Spain) Insulclock ® transforms the insulin pen into a smart-pen, taking advantage of the moment of insulin administration to register the dose injected and connecting it with the digital world, so caregivers can look after dependent patients. LoRaWAN technology is used in the system to enable elderly and juvenile patients to use it without a smartphone, making it more approachable from the consumer perspective. Advanced Steam Trap Monitoring by SteamIQ (United States) SteamIQ is an ultrasonic steam trap monitoring solution harnessing the power of LoRaWAN to enable deep building penetration and long battery life. Producing steam is
