mioty® is a breakthrough wireless technology developed by the German Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits.
It is a worldwide open standard for IoT, offering a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) solution that overcomes many of the limitations of traditional LPWAN technologies.
With its patented telegram splitting mechanism, mioty® divides messages into multiple sub-packages and transmits them at various times and frequencies, ensuring unprecedented robustness, scalability, and energy efficiency.
But how can these advantages be derived from the technique itself in an easy way? An answer to this is the spectral footprint of various radio technologies, and in particular of mioty® compared to other LPWAN technologies. The spectral footprint is a way to measure how efficient the use of the radio spectrum is, just like CO2 footprint is a way to measure the energy efficiency of cars. The smaller the spectral footprint is, the more IoT devices can co-exist in the same radio cell and still achieve high quality of service. A lower spectral footprint also makes a radio technology more robust against other radio signals as it’s less likely to be overlapped (=disturbed).
The observations from spectral footprints of different LPWAN technologies are theoretical but helps explaining the results observed in real field installations. By comparing mioty® with other LPWAN technologies in real scenarios, telegram splitting transfers it’s technique into higher range and reliability of data transmission by using less energy per message. These advantages translate into cost-effective long-term investment, allowing users to reduce capital and operating costs and benefit from a low total cost of ownership (TCO). Hence, mioty is ideally suited for large scale IoT installations like Smart Cities, Utilities (with large metering installations), Industries etc. Due to all advantages that mioty® offers, it is ideally suited to be the new global IoT radio standard.
