The HPE Universal IoT Platform helps transform cities to be more efficient, agile and resilient to improve quality of life, drive economic growth and create sustainable communities. The LoRaWAN network will be one of the dedicated networks for connected devices in India enabling cost effective, innovative approaches towards applications for the betterment of society. The LoRaWAN network is expected to expand to 60 cities by the end of 2017 and the rest of India by December 2018.
“Tata Communications has successfully deployed the first IoT dedicated network in several major cities across India using the LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) technology. Our partnership with Semtech and HPE has resulted into a cohesive, resilient and highly-secure network to deploy IoT applications in India. We have successfully conducted 35 proof-of-concept application trials on our IoT network. Overall, we aim to have around 50 million different IoT devices in the market by 2022,” said VS Shridhar, Senior Vice-President and Head of Internet of Things (IoT), Tata Communications.
“As cities continue to evolve and get smarter, they are faced with several challenges. While these challenges may vary across cities, quality of life for inhabitants, citizen safety and efficiency continue to remain a priority,” said Nigel Upton, General Manager, IoT, Communications & Media Solutions, HPE. “The HPE and Tata Communications Command Center featuring the LoRaWAN network is designed to put citizens’ needs first and address key challenges across smart buildings, campuses, utilities, fleet management, security, healthcare services and more, head on.”
