 LEXI has announced that LEXI IoT gateway with support for LoRaWan is now shipping to customers. Adding LoRaWan to the universal LEXI platform multiplies market potential by bringing together smart home and commercial building technologies into one multi-protocol gateway.

The LoraWan standard – developed and maintained by the LoRa Alliance – was specifically designed for large-scale IoT communication. As a long-range wide area network, it addresses the need to transmit signals across vast distances, through physical barriers such as concrete, while running on low power – and also meets the requirements of ensuring long battery life with the ability to massively scale at low deployment and operating cost.

“Despite difficult global headwinds, the IoT universe continues to progress, and interoperability is more important than ever as organisations look to solve challenges with intelligence and efficiency,” says Scott Cahill CEO, LEXI. “Hitting this milestone around shipping our universal gateway featuring the reach and resilience of LoRaWan demonstrates our commitment to helping businesses support smart technologies literally near and far, today and tomorrow, under the cover of an ecosystem that can handle it all.”

Earlier this year, LEXI announced its novel suite of software and hardware that provides complete functionality for enterprise customers interested in deploying widespread smart home offerings or commercial IoT projects. The future-ready design of the LEXI IoT platform is what differentiates it from everything else on the market. In addition to LoRaWan, the LEXI gateway supports all other major wireless protocols including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Z-Wave – and is upgradable to Thread and Matter.

“The LoRa standard opens avenues of opportunity around smart living, working, and connecting across short, long and challenging ranges,” says John E. Osborne II, COO, LEXI who also serves as the chairman emeritus of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) as well as the vice chairman of the Z-Wave Alliance. “Our customers are assured they are hitching their brand to a flexible, future-proof IoT platform that can cast ‘nets’ of varying size and power depending on their use case. Having this protocol on tap provides the flexibility to communicate broadly across homes, buildings, cities, logistics, agriculture and beyond.”

Fully interoperable with leading IoT products/brands, the LEXI IoT platform boasts multilayered network security and the power to run AI models at the edge. It’s comprised of three core components:

  • LEXI mobile apps: Customisable, white-label iOS and Android mobile apps to add, control and manage devices. Works both with and without the LEXI universal IoT gateway.
  • Universal IoT gateway: Includes support for the four key IoT wireless protocols, now with LoRa, plus a powerful NXP processor to run AI models at the edge.
  • LEXI cloud: U.S.-based cloud includes an admin portal, customer service portal, roles-based access control (RBAC), fleet management, remove device control, a big data backend, a commercial LoRa server and rich reporting & analytics dashboards.

Lexi Claims to be the World’s First and Only Universal IoT Platform

by

The Lexi platform creates interoperability among third-party devices and Lexi white-labeled connected devices for smart homes and buildings.

by Jake Hertz

https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/lexi-claims-to-be-the-worlds-first-only-universal-iot-platform/

The IoT market consists of many different device manufacturers, each developing its own suite of IoT products. Major players like Amazon and Google compete for space in the market by each offering similar devices within a unique and proprietary ecosystem.

The result is a modern smart home consisting of several devices from different manufacturers—Amazon Alexa, a Ring Doorbell, and a Google Nest thermostat, for example. While market choice and variety are generally good for consumers, in the context of the IoT, this fragmentation can be a major shortcoming.

For this reason, developers are pushing for protocols such as Matter to unify the IoT market. Now, a company called Lexi has introduced the Lexi IoT Platform, which it claims is the only universal IoT platform. 

The Need for Interoperability

Devices from different manufacturers only interface with other devices within the manufacturer’s ecosystem. For instance, a Google Nest is not designed to be interoperable with Amazon Alexa, and vice versa.

Because of this, consumers are forced to either purchase devices only within one manufacturer ecosystem or live with disparate devices that are not interoperable. If all IoT devices were interoperable regardless of manufacturer, the industry could unlock unprecedented functionality and achieve the true vision of IoT.

Designed to address this disconnect, the Lexi IoT Platform employs hardware and software to act as the bridge between devices in the smart home and enterprise space.

Lexi IoT Platform

The platform consists of three main tenants: the Lexi Mobile Apps, the Universal IoT Gateway, and the Lexi Cloud.

The Lexi Mobile Apps are customizable iOS and Android apps that can control and manage IoT devices within an ecosystem. The Universal Gateway is a hardware device based around an NXP processor, which physically connects disparate IoT devices. Lexi has designed its gateway to support all of the major IoT wireless protocols on the market today, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, 900 MHz, LoRaWAN, and cellular. Finally, the Lexi Cloud is a cloud service that includes data storage, device control, and an analytics dashboard for user insight.

Lexi also says that its independently-built IoT platform offers up to 90% cost savings over AWS IoT Core and performs 40% faster than major cloud services. 

With this platform, Lexi claims to create interoperability among many of the major industry ecosystems, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. Future plans include adding support for Apple HomeKit, HomeAssistant, and HomeBridge. Lexi is also upgradeable to Matter and Thread.
