Metova Announces LoRa Hardware Testing, Certification and Network Management Services

FRANKLIN, Tenn. and FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Metova, a world-leading provider of mobile, connected car, connected home and IoT Solutions, today announced a suite of LoRa offerings designed to facilitate testing and certification of new connected devices as well as manage and operate LoRa networks and installations. As businesses and industries are increasingly adopting connected devices to improve workflow, maintain customer satisfaction and increase profitability, Metova's LoRa offerings provide simple, powerful and scalable facilities needed to make the leap into the connected world of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Metova 'LoRa Cert,' a new industry-proven testing and certification offering, allows for network operators and hardware suppliers to run real-world tests on new hardware using network-specific settings before deploying fully across a live LoRa network. Metova's tests ensure that hardware properly responds to configuration requests, increased or decreased bandwidth and power draw, and otherwise will not disrupt a LoRa network – a must-have for hardware builders, and operators of LoRa networks, to ensure one bad set of devices doesn't disrupt the rest. For network providers requiring devices to conform to their own protocol on top of the LoRa platform, Metova can ensure compliance with any custom requirements.

"LoRa's long-range, low power-draw and affordability make it an excellent choice for industries that require connectivity for metering, agriculture, logistics and much more, but it's essential for both hardware builders and network operators to know that all parts of the network operate reliably within certain guidelines," said Andrew Cowart, CTO at Metova. "As experts in LoRa and a LoRa Alliance member, we're proud to offer our trusted certification testing and LoRa Link, enabling any company that builds connected devices or that can benefit from a connected workforce to take control by utilizing LoRa."

Metova LoRa Link is a complete LoRa server solution offering everything needed to operate and maintain a powerful LoRa Network. LoRa Link's simple web application allows for easy, intuitive control of key LoRa network functions including device management, network control and integration with external services. In addition, LoRa Link's simplified architecture and unique underlying technology allow for it to scale easily.
