#IoT2learn The wimmer in all LPWAN  parameters (price and performance) is Mioty. The energy consumption of #LPWAN technologies is calculated as voltage x current x time. Modern LPWAN SoCs with #NBIoT, #Mioty, #LoRaWAN, and #Sigfox now operate at 3 volts. The minimum operating voltage for NB-IoT has decreased from 3.8 volts to 2.8 volts. Other SoCs previously allowed 3 volts due to lower TX currents. For Mioty, LoRaWAN, and Sigfox SoCs, we used 45 mA at 14 dBm TX in the following calculations, based on measurement series. Newer SoCs like STM32LW3 for Mioty and Sigfox now reach 22 mA, while STM32LW5 with #LoRa requires 50% more at 30 mA. NB-IoT energy consumption was determined using three NB-IoT SoCs. Recent improvements in TX currents have led to slightly better values. Energy consumption calculations: NB-IoT (12 bytes, 164 dB calculated): 53000 mWs NB-IoT (12 bytes, 154 dB measured): 5300 mWs Sigfox (12 bytes, 156 dB): 810 mWs LoRaWAN (13 bytes, 161 dB): 222.3 mWs Mioty Standard (13 bytes, 161 dB): 195.8 mWs Mioty ER Mode (13 bytes, 167 dB): 48.9 mWs A 3 dB increase doubles the TX current, resulting in 53000 mWs at 164 dB link budget for NB-IoT. However, 164 dB is technically impossible due to 8 dB jitter in RRI, so tests were limited to 154 dB. With new SoCs, energy consumption decreases by 33% for LoRa and 52% for Mioty. Mioty requires 4.5x less energy than LoRa. Using #STM32LW3, Mioty's energy consumption is now 6.1x lower at 14 dBm TX. A lithium thionyl chloride D-size battery costs approximately €15. LoRa requires 3x €15, while Mioty needs only 1x €15. SoC comparison with #Digikey prices: STM32WL33CCV7A for Mioty: €3.70 for 500 units at Digikey STM32LWL5  with LoRa: €5.57 The best price for STM32WL3 I have seen was €1.20 with a 4K order. The LoRa SoC is €1.77 more expensive than the Mioty SoC. Mioty licence costs ~€0.34 to €0.60. Mioty is already cheaper at the SoC level. The larger battery for LoRa adds another €30. Do not make cheery picking and consider the total cost of ownership. Mioty consistently outperforms, being the most cost-effective LPWAN technology with the highest range and lowest energy consumption. The least expensive Mioty transmitter from China costs only €0.30. The Mioty transmitter plus LTE or LTEM/NBIoT modules generates two world's best and cheapest tracking devices with wake-up on radio on STM32WL3. In 2025, the LPWAN Cookbook and Mioty/LoRaWAN gateway will be released, along with Mioty reference designs. Readers can choose between LoRa or Mioty. The focus is on reducing costs and energy consumption. Contact: harald.naumann (at) antennity.  com

🚀#mdpisignals Excited to share an article with you. "A Review of Wireless Positioning Techniques and Technologies: From Smart #Sensors to 6G" 🔸https://lnkd.in/gbyd4wSu 🔹Authors: Constantina Isaia et al. Cyprus University of Technology 🔸Abstract: In recent years, tremendous advances have been made in the design and applications of wireless #networks and embedded sensors. The combination of sophisticated sensors with #wireless communication has introduced new applications, which can simplify humans’ daily activities, increase independence, and improve quality of life. Although numerous positioning techniques and wireless technologies have been introduced over the last few decades, there is still a need for improvements, in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and performance for the various applications. #positioning_algorithms #6G

#Mioty: The Ultimate in Ultra Low Power #LPWAN Technology 🌐 In the world of #LPWAN, Mioty stands out for its unparalleled power efficiency. Unlike other technologies that often overpromise, Mioty’s performance is backed by hard facts from #Fraunhofer, ensuring real-world battery life of up to 10 years under genuine conditions. 🔋 True Low Power Operation: Mioty technology is meticulously optimised for #power efficiency. Here are some transmission rate examples achievable with a standard AA battery (2200mAh) over 10 years, as per Fraunhofer documentation: 📧 10 Byte Messages: - On-Air Time: 363 ms - Charge: 5 µAh (equivalent to 16.5 mJ) - Reporting Rate: 1 message every 15 minutes 📧 50 Byte Messages: - On-Air Time: 968 ms - Charge: 13.5 µAh (equivalent to 44.6 mJ) - Reporting Rate: 1 message every hour 📧 200 Byte Messages: - On-Air Time: 3236 ms - Charge: 45 µAh (equivalent to 148.5 mJ) - Reporting Rate: 1 message every 2 hours Assumptions: TX current: 45 mA; Sleep current: 2 µA; Battery self-discharge: <1% per year. 📈 No Marketing Hype: Unlike other LPWAN technologies that claim 10 years of battery life without specifying the conditions, Mioty’s data is transparent and verifiable. Each claim is supported by rigorous testing, ensuring that what you see is what you get. 🚀 #Mioty vs. #NBIoT vs #LoRWAN: When compared to NB-IoT, which often uses a 5000 mAh battery and typically reports data once a day, Mioty’s performance is impressive. Mioty supports four transmissions per hour under worst-case conditions, making it far more efficient. NB-IoT and LoRaWAN are known for their dynamic power consumption, often presenting best-case scenarios in marketing materials. 🔍 Engineering Precision: The differences between Mioty and other technologies lie in the expertise behind the technology. Mioty’s documentation and performance metrics come from experienced engineers, whereas NB-IoT and LoRaWAN often have marketing content created by non-experts in physics and electronics. 🔔 Where does the data come from: I'm currently writing the Mioty chapter for the LPWAN Cookbook. With Mioty, everything is open. A Fraunhofer document explains everything. Unfortunately, this is not the case with Sigfox and LoRaWAN. With the proprietary LPWAN, much has been revealed through reengineering. Mioty is more open, freer and technically much better. 📢 Join the Mioty Revolution: Are you ready to embrace a truly efficient LPWAN solution?
