On the occasion of the Embedded World fair, which is held in Nuremberg (Germany) from February 25 to 27, 2020, the MIOTY Alliance announces the launch of a new communication protocol designed for massive IoT. "It’s the only software technology that meets the ETSI standard (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, N.D.L.R.) which overcomes the limitations of common LPWAN solutions ", underlined in a press release the consortium. It was initiated by Texas Instruments, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, Diehl Metering, Diehl Connectivity Solutions, ifm, Ragsol, Stackforce and Wika.

COMMUNICATIONS UNDER 1 GHZ

Called MIOTY, this protocol would "fully hardware independent" and would constitute a "advanced in terms of scalability, reliability, mobility, energy efficiency and flexibility" thanks to patented telegram division technology. The alliance ensures that it can group millions of messages every day with a single base station and that it has "unmatched immunity" interference … yet common with LPWAN. Enough to make it, according to its initiators, a solution suitable for industrial and smart city uses, which require data transfers over distances of more than 15 kilometers from devices moving at a speed of 120 km / h.

To access technology, manufacturers, communications providers, and service developers must register with the alliance’s website. The latter intends to position MIOTY as "world standard" dedicated to massive applications in the field of IoT. The characteristics it manages to cross – transfer reliability, low energy consumption and long-range networks – are "essential for creating industrial applications", said Mattias Lange, general manager of connectivity at Texas Instruments, who also specifies that the protocol could "secure its leading position for communications below 1 GHz".

The consortium says it wants to propose "the ideal platform" for developers, hardware manufacturers, system integrators, service companies and end customers by providing "an open, standardized and interoperable ecosystem that meets current and future wireless connectivity needs". Herman Trottler, Chairman of the MIOTY Alliance Executive Board, said the goal was to"ensuring global interoperability along the value chain through standardization and certification programs" to meet the needs of manufacturers and end customers.
