How it works
mioty delivers industry-leading reliability and scalability for massive IoT deployments with millions of connected devices.
This is made possible by Telegram Splitting, a patented technology standardized under ETSI TS 103 357 for large-scale industrial IoT networks.
Telegram Splitting divides each message into small sub-packets, which are then transmitted independently across different frequencies and time slots. At the gateway, an algorithm continuously scans the spectrum and reconstructs the full message from the received sub-packets. Thanks to built-in redundancy, up to 50% of sub-packets can be lost without affecting the information content of the transmitted data.
As a result, mioty enables highly robust, energy-efficient wireless communication over long distances in demanding industrial IoT environments.
Wireless technologies operating in the license-free frequency bands are more prone to interference due to shared and crowded band use. As device density increases, spectrum congestion grows, leading to higher interference and potential data loss.
Telegram Splitting addresses this challenge by ensuring message reconstruction even when up to 50% of sub-packets are lost. This enables reliable communication including in environments where other wireless technologies struggle with interference and signal disruption. For example, mioty can hold a consistent stable performance in underground and hard-to-reach installations.
In addition, high reliability enables massive scalability, supporting networks with over one million devices and millions of daily transmissions.
mioty also supports long-range, bi-directional communication, and ultra-low power consumption for extended device lifetime. This allows reliable coverage across buildings, campuses, factories, and remote industrial or mining environments.
The network can be deployed in previously unreachable or crowded environments where traditional LPWAN solutions fail.

mioty FAQ
What are the main benefits of a mioty network?
There are 4 major benefits that come from using a mioty network, and these include:
- Unmatched reliability and robustness compared to all LPWANs in the market today
- Ultra-scalable supporting up to 1.5 million data transmissions per day from 1 million + devices
- Long range – 20 kilometres Line-of-Sight
- Long battery lifetime to support long lasting installations (15 – 20 years)
What is the Telegram Splitting feature in mioty and how does it work?
Telegram Splitting is the core of a mioty network. It is a patented technology standardized under ETSI TS 103 357 for massive industrial IoT networks.
Telegram Splitting works by dividing a data packet into small sub-packets, which are then transmitted independently across different frequencies and time slots. An algorithm on the gateway side continuously scans the radio spectrum for sub-packets. Once the gateway collects all the sub-packets, it reconstructs the full data packet again.
Thanks to built-in redundancy, up to 50% of sub-packets can be lost without affecting the information content of the transmitted data packet.
This functionality is what makes mioty such a robust, reliable, and scalable solution.
Which applications are most suitable for mioty?
mioty works best for applications that require:
- Mostly uplink communication (ex: Sensor data collection)
- A large number of devices sending data frequently / High density of devices in close proximity to one another
- Quality of Service (High robustness and maximum successful packet delivery rates are important)
- Long project lifetimes (15 – 20 years)
- Battery-operated devices
mioty does not work so well for applications that require:
- Intensive control, aka, a lot of downlink communication from the gateway down to the sensors because the more control that is required in the network, the less scalable the network becomes. In addition, when sending frequent control commands from the gateway down to the sensors, this prevents the gateway from listening and receiving data packets from the sensors.
- Latency lower than 6 seconds. The Telegram Splitting process where a data packet is split into 24 sub-packets, then transmitted at different time slots and frequencies, and then reconstructed into a full message again creates some latency. So if you need instant responses to messages, mioty is not ideal.
- Sensor readings more frequently than every 30 seconds (in Europe). In Europe, there is a duty cycle limitation, which means, that the gateway for a single network can only send data up to 1% of the time. Anything beyond 1% is a violation of the duty cycle regulation in Europe. Therefore, having thousands of devices sending data every 30 seconds would certainly surpass this 1% limitation.
That being said, common applications which fit the above mentioned requirements include:
- Smart Metering (electricity, gas, water and heat metering)
- Smart City
- Smart Factory / Industry 4.0
- Building Automation
- Mobility (moving objects)
- Healthcare
How big is the mioty ecosystem?
The mioty technology was announced by the mioty alliance in February 2020, so it is still a young technology that is growing.
The mioty alliance has a vast ecosystem of 70+ members ranging from:
- End point sensor manufacturers
- Radio module and other communication device providers (like Radiocrafts)
- Base station (gateway) manufacturers
- Service centers responsible for routing the data between end-point applications and the application center via the service center application center Interface (SCACI).
- Application centers responsible for interfacing applications to the mioty network via various available interface protocols (such as MQTT, Rest, COAP).
- IoT Platform providers which typically consist of a database and tools for visualization and analyzing the application data.

There are many different wireless standards and technologies available to enable the internet of things (IoT). The different technologies have different pro’s and con’s depending on the use case and the end customer. Trying to keep up with the latest wireless trends can drain a company of all its resources and take attention from its core business. The solution recommended by Radiocrafts is to use a modular approach and a common RF module footprint that enables all the technologies offered by Radiocrafts without modifications to the PCB. |

Making a good RF antenna is by some considered a challenging part of a wireless product design. It required RF knowledge which is not common among general electrical design engineer and not widespread know-how among software engineers either. Radiocrafts has developed a process and the tools required to make this tuning process simple and straightforward in a way that a person with no RF experience can tune a 169MHz antenna to the final product. |
