Cloud Service and Geolocation Update
summary
Semtech describes a cloud service that exposes geolocation as an API and offers a free hybrid geolocation preview that resolves months of packets in hours with zero downtime. Tests show single-packet LoRaWAN RSSI errors around 400 m improving to 20–40 m with Wi‑Fi lookups and to near-Wi‑Fi accuracy after bundling 4–16 packets. Field stories include KPN finding a hidden digger and rhino tracking at 25 m average for rhinos for €50 per animal with 7‑minute updates for two years. Device tricks like MAC-address compression cuts time-on-air by ~20% depending on motion.
