 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.

Z-Wave Alliance Announces New Board of Directors for 2023

by

The Z-Wave Alliance, the Standards Development Organization (SDO) dedicated to advancing the smart home and Z-Wave technology, today announces the newly elected Z-Wave Alliance Board of Directors. Effective immediately, the updated roster of roles and representatives from across the connected home and IoT industry is as follows:

The past two years has driven impressive growth in the smart home industry. Data is showing that 55% of U.S. adults or 110 million people now own one or more smart home device(s). Z-Wave has experienced this first-hand with milestones such as the availability of the Z-Wave Long Range (LR) certification, achieving 4100 certified Z-Wave devices, and witnessing 90 million new devices enter the market since 2020. 

Conversations concerning standards and protocols are at an all-time high. Amongst talk of one of the most anticipated new developments in the IoT, the Z-Wave Alliance proudly seats Jonathan Adams, a young and emerging technology leader at Amazon at the head of the organization.

Furthermore, the Alliance continues to benefit from the knowledge and expertise from the collective board, which includes leaders who are founding participants of Project CHIP and who currently hold chaired positions within both the Thread Group and the Connectivity Standards Alliance.  

“Recently, the universally sourced, industry-rallying battle-cry has been that of interoperability,” said Mitch Klein, Executive Director of the Z-Wave Alliance. “No other organization has as much experience at the helm as the Z-Wave Alliance, which has operated with interoperability as a core value for the past two decades. If the freshly elected Z-Wave Board of Directors proves anything, it is that industry leaders and trend setters echo our sentiment and see the future of Z-Wave as bright and opportunistic.”   

Across the entire group, the Z-Wave Alliance Board of Directors features top leadership from companies at the forefront of IoT. Newly elected members bring fresh perspective, new ideas, and instantly add their background to the board’s decades of combined experience.
