📡 #LoRaWAN  or #TSUNB (#Mioty / #OMS5)? Since I was personally trained multiple times on #LoRa by #Semtech, accompanied the first major LoRa project in #Germany, wrote the LPWAN Cookbook and studies on LPWAN, and regularly consult companies on LPWAN, I possess more details than others. LoRaWAN must go for technical reasons. Bye bye LoRaWAN, welcome #Mioty, #OMS5, and #TSUNB. 🏠 The First LoRa Mass Production Project in Germany: The first mass production project using LoRa in Germany was the Smart Home Set with #RWE. The development was carried out by Cameronet in Remscheid. Harald Naumann, FAE at Future Electronics, accompanied the project. Electricity meters were read optically, digitised, and sent via LoRa (not LoRaWAN). The PDFs of the LoRa IC were so poor that we simply had to experiment with the parameters. 📷 Outdated Technology in the Smart Home Set: The display of the electricity meter was redirected using two mirrors, photographed with a camera, and then converted into a digital value by an embedded #Linux PC. Today, this method is outdated and much too expensive. An #ESP32 now does the same with an open-source library, at a significantly lower cost and with less energy consumption. 💡 RWE Ahead of Its Time: RWE was far ahead of its time with this idea. Nowadays, it is mandatory to provide consumers with their energy consumption monthly by German law. Since there is only one electricity meter per household, it’s relatively simple there. However, in Germany, many radiators use devices called heat cost allocators for reading. In the past, this data was read manually, but today, it’s done via Wireless M-Bus. 📶 OMS and Mioty - A Better Solution: The OMS Group specifies WM Bus. In OMS5, TS-UNB is integrated. Miotyis the brand name for TS-UNB. The latest version of TS-UNB was adapted to the OMS Group’s requirements. 🔋 Efficiency of OMS5 and Mioty: The old TS-UNB transmitted at 300 bit/s, while the new version use 2400 bit/s. OMS5 and Mioty require 4.5 times less energy than LoRaWAN at the same range. A sensor with a SoC based on TS-UNB does not need an expensive LoRa PHY and requires a smaller battery. The battery is the most costly component in a heat cost allocator or water meter. 🌍 LoRaWAN vs #OMS5 in EU: The largest LoRaWAN operator globally is #Zenner, with only 7 million sensors after 8 years of acquisition. Zenner primarily operates in sub-metering and not LPWAN. Just one OMS member produces 7 million WM Bus sensors annually. Therefore, the #OMS Group is much larger in production in EU than the LoRaWAN Alliance members. 💪 Mioty, OMS5, TS-UNB vs LoRaWAN: 4.5 times less energy consumption, double the range, no vendor lock-in, very cheap SoCs, 10 times less bandwidth, 500 times the data throughput .... Bye bye LoRaWAN - welcome Mioty, OMS5, TS-UNB.

The #lack of #progress in #standalone #5G #deployments highlighted in the GSA May 2024 Market Snapshot Report is a point worth noting. Stalled #Standalone 5G -The report indicates that the number of operators with deployed standalone 5G networks hasn't increased since the end of 2023 (at 49). This suggests a #slowdown in the #rollout of the next-generation 5G technology. Expectations vs. Reality- Standalone 5G promises significant #improvements in network #performance, #efficiency, and #flexibility. The lack of progress could be due to various factors like technical challenges, regulatory hurdles, investment considerations, infrastructure limitations, or delays in developing applications that fully utilize standalone 5G capabilities. Additionally, the transition to standalone 5G networks requires substantial infrastructure upgrades and investments, which can be both costly and time-consuming for operators. Some operators might be in the process of deploying standalone 5G networks that haven't been publicly announced yet.

VitrumFiber picks Gridsz for their network resource management During the recent #ANGACOM in Cologne, the Gridsz team had a chance to catch up with an exciting new German customer, VitrumFiber. VitrumFiber provides the development and leasing of turnkey fiber optic networks for network operators, internet service providers and municipal utilities that offer internet services. They handle everything from the planning and financing to construction and maintenance, creating fiber networks from backbone to the households. As a provider of what they have termed ‘fiber as a service,’ VitrumFiber understands the importance of an efficient and reliable system to the success of their core business. That is why VitrumFiber recently chose to invest in the Gridsz Platform for their fiber network resource management. Using Gridsz for their network management will allow them to fully automate connection availability, order processing, monitoring and service, and do all of that with optimal efficiency. As Dr. Marc Hennemann, Managing Director of VitrumFiber, puts it, “Gridsz is a powerful tool that will help us sell connections faster, sharing addresses with partners as they become available. It will also provide us with highly effective support for recurring tasks, for complex workflows and for incident management. And all of that takes place on the foundation of direct connectivity to our chosen asset management system, Cocon Fiber. This way, we know we are always working from the most accurate network data, because it is continuously updated to the Gridsz Platform.” Another important aspect of the system that VitrumFiber was looking for is the ability to coordinate construction and post-connection orders with maximum efficiency and easy communication. From the Gridsz Platform, they can quickly and easily share addresses and availability with their customers and communicate orders to their contractors. Every addition or change to the network is then updated directly to their asset registry and management system Cocon. This easy communication with all parties is especially useful for the type of long-term partnerships that VitrumFiber has with their customers. Many of those are municipal and public works , such as Stadtwerke Rostock AG, where VitrumFiber is currently building modern broadband networks in three municipalities. Vereena Schoonen, Chief Operating Officer at Gridsz, adds, “The continuous synchronization of all data in every system completes the circle for VitrumFiber. It ensures that they always have one single source of truth about their network status. We are very happy that Gridsz can provide this kind of support for VitrumFiber’s core business success! #Fiberrollout #networkmanagement #telco #eTom #FttH

I think #6G will need a complete rework of the idea of localised roaming and network interconnect. There will be multiple scenarios and greater frequency of devices switching to alternative networks from an MNO, or connecting to other users locally. This fits the #6Greset concept. There are two sets of scenarios, with some overlap: 1) User switches to (or combines) a local network, for improvements in coverage, performance, cost, energy use or privacy 2) User connects to another user or resource locally "at the edge" without traffic going via a distant point. This improves latency, congestion, coverage etc as well. Some use-cases and scenarios: - Local roaming & federation onto indoor #WiFi for better coverage, lower energy consumption and (often) reduced latency to cloud-based applications - Local interconnect with 3rd party networks such as #neutralhost for urban densification, remote / rural and indoors - Both roaming and local interconnect between public and private #5G / 6G networks at a site - for instance for IoT devices moving outdoors from indoors - Local breakout or local interconnect between two different MNO networks, for instance for low-latency communications or gaming between two users at the same venue - Direct device-to-device (or "sidelink") connectivity, for instance for sending files and images/video locally in a similar fashion to AirDrop or casting to a TV. Also for public safety and #V2X at longer ranges - Direct peering (and perhaps radio coordination) between Wi-Fi networks, or between #private5G networks - either locally or as federations - Extending a device's Wi-Fi hotspot capability to offering a 5G / 6G local hotspot in unlicensed spectrum - Localised use of satellite or HAPs connections in particular regions (eg small dead zones) - Various proximity-sensing and positioning use-cases - Alternative local technologies such as Bluetooth, UWB, light - even USB cables - Links to #edgecomputing, #NetworkAPIs and AI A lot of different things will get blended into each other here. Arguably this is actually multiple categories, with a plethora of standards involved. But what I'm seeing is a "superset" of localised network events. There's no real parallel in #5G. That has lots of architectural and regulatory implications. Are any of these things billable? Does lawful intercept apply, and if so where and how? Is the 3GPP core involved, and if so, for control or user planes, or both? What about shared #OpenRAN CU & DUs? What happens if there's a conflict between (say) energy efficiency and privacy, or coverage vs. regulatory control? How much is driven by device or OS connection managers, vs the network(s)? Will there be huge volumes of signalling? This is outside traditional #mobile & IMT / #5G thinking. Some 6G visions talk about Network of Networks - this is what it implies, I believe. ⏰ This will be covered at my Nov 28th "6G For The Real World" workshop Early Bird ends this week - see Eventbrite link in comments⏰
