We at STACKFORCE are excited to announce the successful integration of our Wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) and LoRaWAN® Dual Stacks into the new Quectel KG200Z LoRa module. This powerful combination enhances connectivity for smart metering, industrial automation, and IoT applications by bridging the gap between short-range and long-range communication.

On June 19 and 20, STACKFORCE proudly participated in the LoRaWAN® Live event held in Munich. Representing us was Mario Behringer, our Senior Application Engineer & Product Manager, who engaged with attendees and showcased our latest advancements.

With the release of our newest member of our dual stack family, we are expanding our product portfolio in the area of multi stacks. This dual stack for end-points is a high-performance solution that enables specified communication with the latest OMS® v4 and TR06 specification. OMS® over LoRaWAN® defines how OMS®-compliant data packets can be exchanged bidirectionally via LoRaWAN®.

STACKFORCE now offers an expanded selection of off-the-shelf standard protocol stacks. Thanks to strong industry partnerships, customers benefit from faster integration, reduced development time, and reliable LPWAN technologies.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has as its basic concept to connect many different devices via the Internet so that data exchange can take place. Due to increasing automatization, networked devices are already being used in all sectors. They can be found in industry, agriculture, healthcare, private households and many other areas. What role does embedded software play here and what challenges must be mastered in software development?

Maximum flexibility for your IoT solution: A Multi-Protocol Stack allows multiple wireless technologies like LoRaWAN®, mioty® and Wireless M-Bus (OMS®) to run in parallel on a single device. Learn how you can benefit from seamless integration, dynamic switching, and extended coverage with a future-proof Multi Protocol Solution.

The agriculture sector is increasingly engaged in digitizing processes that are cumbersome and time-consuming to implement manually. In our use case, we focused on Smart Dairy Farming. In our video, we show how digitization can work in agriculture and how exactly Protocol Stacks from STACKFORCE can support this. The use case illustrates the benefits for the end user of networking devices on the farm.

The LoRaWAN® Stack is an ideal solution to equip devices in complex environments to communicate with wireless technology. In part 1 of our article, we covered the LoRaWAN® Stack features, the specifics of the STACKFORCE Stack compared to the open source variant, and the Protocol Stack Package. In part 2 of the article, we provide insight into the appropriate hardware that can be used to enable devices to communicate with LoRaWAN® and the options for certifying LoRaWAN® products.

The semiconductor shortage is currently being felt in many industries. However, opinions vary widely on the duration of the existing problem. Read the article to learn how to add IoT connectivity to your devices despite the chip shortage.

You have already dealt with the topic of LoRaWAN®, but do not yet have a clear idea of whether the open-source components are sufficient for your needs? STACKFORCE's LoRaWAN® Protocol Stack is an advanced evolution of the open-source LoRaWAN® Stack. Read more about the stack features, implemented standards and the advantages of the STACKFORCE Stack compared to the open-source variant in the article.
