Pycom’s 15 one-day events provide developers with hands-on access to
LoRa Technology
CAMARILLO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance
analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms,
announced its sponsorship of Pycom’s new GoInvent World Series to allow
developers hands-on access to its LoRa®
devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology). Pycom,
a leader in innovative hardware and software products for the Internet
of Things (IoT), created the GoInvent global workshops, to educate
developers about innovative IoT technologies.
“Pycom’s goal with our GoInvent World Series is to provide developers
the skills and knowledge necessary to create and connect their devices
to the Internet. Semtech’s LoRa Technology is a leading platform for IoT
applications, offering unique advantages for developers that allow them
to simplify device deployment and get products to market faster,” said
Fred de Haro, CEO at Pycom. “LoRa Technology offers the building blocks
for developers to quickly realize the return on investment (ROI) their
customers want. Participants will leave GoInvent empowered, with a proof
of concept that is well connected.”
At the events, Semtech and Pycom will conduct in-depth workshops to
introduce attendees to IoT applications and LPWAN technologies.
Workshops will focus on setting up one’s LoRa-based hardware, connecting
to a low power wide area network (LPWAN), middleware and connecting to
the Cloud, optimizing one’s application for low data, project
set-up/hacking, and a Q&A with experts in the field. Pycom’s GoInvent
World Series is sponsored and supported by a number of other partner
companies, including Mouser
Electronics and Digital
Catapult.
“Pycom’s GoInvent World Series enables developers looking to
successfully deploy a LoRa-based solution to work directly with experts
in the field,” said Steven Hegenderfer, Senior Director of the Developer
Ecosystem in Semtech’s Wireless Sensing and Products Group. “By
sponsoring this event series, Semtech aims to increase the awareness and
accessibility of LoRa Technology globally through hands-on experience
with our technology. Semtech is committed to working with the
LoRaWAN-based ecosystem to develop and stimulate the growth of LoRa
Technology and the LoRaWAN® protocol. Providing developers with access
