Visit Sony and Murata at MWC24

It's that time again next week. The IoT world will meet at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. I recommend visiting the stands of Sony Altair Hall 7 7A15Ex. and Murata Hall 5 5D66.

Sony Altair will be showing the ALT1350 multi-transceiver. The SoC contains NB-IoT, LTE-M, 5G-NTN (NB-IoT via satellite), #GNSS, #WiFi sniffer, and short-range radio (868, 915 and 2400 MHz). Murata turns it into a radio module with and without MCU #STM32 ( ARM Cortex M4).

A Mioty stack can work on the ALT1350. According to my calculations, Mioty is 250 times better than LoRaWAN. The Technical University of Ilmenau has calculated an 1100x higher capacity for Mioty compared to LoRaWAN.

I am planning the 868/915 MHz transceiver in ALT1350 for Mioty. The example code for Mioty Stack UL is available from me free of charge. I have also found transceivers for about 30 cents.

My interest in Mioty is based on my LPWAN Cookbook. It describes how to plan, simulate and test a private LPWAN. Since I regularly write about LPWAN and Mioty on LinkedIn, I get many requests for projects.

A city in Africa needs 350,000 Mioty sensors. I only need to upload. The free Mioty stack is enough. There are several ways:

- Holtek SubGHz Transceiver for about 30 cent

- Holtek SubGHz SoC with ARM Cortex M0 processor

- Holtek SubGHz SoC with Microchip PIC clone

- Every LoRa module can use Mioty

I choose the cheapest hardware concept for the sensors in Africa. The concept is extended with one of my 0 Euro antennas. For 340,000 sensors, I'm planning my own IoT device with the free Mioty stack. For another 10,000, I plan to retrofit a device with LoRaWAN. The #LoRaWAN stack will be swapped for #Mioty.

I am planning a test run with the Sony #ALT1350 at Stuttgart Airport. The Mioty/LoRaWAN gateway from Crout has been successfully in use for weeks. I plan to equip hundreds of trolleys at the airport with a combination of Mioty, LTE-M, GNSS and Wifi positioning.

If a Mioty network is available, communication with Mioty will take place via the free LPWAN. If no Mioty is available, the system switches to LTE-M.

For LTE-M, I use the new 0 Euro Crout True Global IoT SIM card (rSIM, eSIM, iSIM). For use at the airport, I plan to use the integrated iSIM in the ALT1350. This reduces power consumption and saves the external SIM card. The 0-euro card only costs a few cents a month. If this SIM card is not used, no costs are incurred. If it is used, you pay for the month. When Mioty is available again, the card parks itself and switches to 0-euro mode.

I look forward to receiving enquiries about:

• 0 Euro SIM card
• 0 Euro #antennas
• 0 Euro Mioty stack
• Mioty test kit with Mioty gateway, Mioty test server and Mioty sensors
• Mioty kit with assembly instructions with 0 euro stack
• Murata radio modules with ALT1350 for upgrading to Mioty
• Free advice on antennas at Embedded World in Nuremberg

Have I gained your interest? Would you like to test the 0-euro SIM? Do you want to be at the forefront of multimode (#NBIoT, #LTEM, #5GNTN, #Mioty)? Would you like to test the 0-Euro Mioty stack? Does LoRa retrofit to Mioty suit you? Are your antenna prices too high? Do you answer yes once?
