How it works
mioty was designed to have the best-in-class reliability and scalability of all LPWAN solutions in the market today to support massive IoT deployments of millions of devices.
This is possible because mioty supports a patented technology called “Telegram Splitting”, making it compliant with the ETSI TS 103 357. This technical specification was released by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for the development of massive industrial IoT deployments. In brief, it represents another milestone in pursuit of worldwide Industrial IoT scalability.
Telegram splitting is the core of the mioty technology. It works by splitting the data packets to be transmitted in the data stream into small sub-packets at the sensor level. Subsequently, these sub-packets are then transmitted over different frequencies and time. While this is happening, an algorithm in the gateway permanently scans the spectrum for mioty sub-packets and reassembles them into a complete message. Due to built-in redundancy, up to 50% of the sub-packets can be lost without reducing the information content received at the gateway.
As a result, mioty enables energy-efficient, robust and ultra-reliable transmissions of sensor data over distances of up to several kilometers.
An important challenge for LPWANs operating in the license free spectrum is that they are more prone to interference. In a license-free spectrum, wireless technologies often co-exist and share limited spectrum resources. Consequently, as the number of devices and data traffic increases, the spectrum becomes more crowded and interference problems become worse. As a result, the network could potentially lose a large amount of data.
Telegram splitting technology solves this growing problem because, as previously mentioned, even if 50% of sub-packets don’t make it to the gateway, the full message will still be successfully reassembled.
This allows deep penetration in underground or hard-to-reach installations where interference would be an enormous problem for other LPWAN solutions.
This level of reliability also enables excellent scalability. To illustrate, a single mioty network can have 1 million + devices transmitting up to 1.5 million data packets per day.
In addition, with support for long range, bi-directional communication, and low power consumption, you can cover an entire chain of buildings, campuses, factories, and mining fields reliably while also having a flexible gateway solution. This network can also be deployed in hard-to-reach, hidden, and noisy environments which were previously not viable using other LPWAN technologies.

When designing the PCB layout for the RF modules, there are some measures that need to be taken to get the best performance from the radio module. In this application note, we will suggest some best practices for your product to succeed. |
|
|
Different applications and different use-cases will need different wireless connectivity technologies. Therefore, selecting the right wireless technology is a critical design decision. Based on radio performance requirements and other criteria, this selection guide will point out the differences between the technologies to help selecting the right one. |
|

This is a short Application Note on the use of license free RF modules in New Zealand, and in particular which modules from Radiocrafts will meet the local radio regulations. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
When selecting the right radio technology, the achievable communication range is an important factor. This document review how to analyse radio range based on parameter provided in the data sheets for the different module families. Some measurement results from practical range testing are also shown |
