Nuremberg, February 28th, 2019, a leading global LoRaWAN™ building block provider, RAKwireless (RAK), announced that they joined the LoRa Alliance™ to support its mission to provide standardized LoRaWAN solutions around the world.

“RAK is excited to be a member of the LoRa Alliance. In the past years, we strived to develop the best LoRaWAN standard-based building blocks, which helps service providers, makers, solution integrators and even end customers shorten their time to market cycle,” said Ken Yu, CEO of RAK. “The building blocks speed up the process for LoRaWAN solutions to transform FROM PROTOTYPE TO COMMERCIAL.”

“One of the challenges facing the IoT is that that different verticals have different requirements,” said Donna Moore, CEO and Chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance. “LoRaWAN is the defacto standard for LPWA networking across a wide range of vertical markets. The technology benefits from our huge member ecosystem that delivers solutions like this that simplify development of commercial end products. We are pleased to have RAK join the LoRa Alliance and further strengthen our efforts to grow LoRaWAN deployments globally.”

RAK is actively expanding in Europe and the US after successfully launching its 5 new LoRaWAN building block products in Amsterdam last month. These new standardized blocks enriched the current offers which expand the usage of LoRaWAN technology in different verticals.
