11 END OF YEAR REPORT 2017 5.0 • The Alliance also released the latest update to its regional parameters for LoRaWAN 1.0.2 revB, which carries over into LoRaWAN 1.1. Some of the many improvements include: - India: Added support for the country's 865 MHz band, which enabled the recent deployment announced by Tata Communications that includes managing data from 200,000 sensors and gateways using Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Universal IoT platform. - Australia: The LoRa Alliance demonstrated its responsiveness to the constantly changing technical landscape by rapidly adding support for Australia's recent regulatory change to its ISM band. These changes greatly extend the maximum range and payloads of LoRaWAN networks, using even the lowest data rates. - Korea: Expanded Korean band capabilities. - Global: Added more consistent support for regions where the maximum allowed transmit power is expressed as equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP). This EIRP support makes it much easier for network operators to manage heterogeneous devices while ensuring regulatory compliance. • The first firmware-over-the-air updates were demonstrated during the 8th All Members Meeting in Philadelphia. Formal publication of this work is planned in 2018. • Extensive work took place on a geolocation white paper slated for release in Q1 2018 highlighting the LoRaWAN standard's strengths and capabilities, as well as key applications.
