First Mioty and BLE dual stack enables concurrent use of 2.4GHz and sub-GHz spectrum
BehrTech announced the release of the first mioty and Bluetooth Low Energy Dual Stack. The mioty Bluetooth LE Dual-Stack brings together mioty, the newest low-power wide-area network technology, with the latest version of Bluetooth (BLE 5.2) on a single multi-protocol chip, the CC1352R wireless microcontroller from Texas Instruments. Together, mioty and Bluetooth LE provide ultra-low power, short-range and […]
Mioty LPWAN – what’s it good for?
Mioty (pronounced “My IoT”) is targeting a wide range of potential application spaces for its low power wide area network (LPWAN) technology. In several cases, it’s intending to supplement or even supplant existing protocols such as WiFi and LoRa, even Ethernet. Mioty is a standardized software-based massive IoT connectivity solution operating in the license-free spectrum. […]
How does mioty compare with other flavors of LPWAN?
Mioty (pronounced “My IoT”) offers designers of low power wide area network (LPWAN) devices and networks another set of performance tradeoffs. This FAQ will start with an overview of four examples of technical approaches to ultra-narrowband (UNB) transmission interfaces, including: triple diversity UNB (3D-UNB), telegram splitting UNB (TS-UNB), dynamic download UNB (DD-UNB), and Lfour. It […]
