The LoRaWAN World Expo 2022 has been a success! The event has gathered over 1,400 people from all over the globe, uniting enterprises, device makers, system integrators, distributors, developers, solution providers, educational institutions, IoT alliances, influencers, and many more, making this event the largest global LoRaWAN event of the year. We want to send a big thank you to all our Partners and Customers for having joined us and to the LoRa Alliance for allowing visitors from all around the world come together after two long years of on-line meetings, to finally rejoin and share our common interests.
“This event really marked a turning point for LoRaWAN: it is now recognized as a dependable technology for large scale operations by major public and private sector organizations, like Total or US Federal, and 5G is no longer perceived as a threat, but rather a complementary technology. As a result, the ecosystem is thriving, and the number of sensors presented was overwhelming. Actility team felt very proud to be at the core of this ecosystem, both at the technology level, as the official network of the event, mediating all data flows to Microsoft and other Partners, mediating between private, public and satellite networks, and at the business level with thousands of devices transacted through ThingPark Market”

We all know about IoT as a technology. This presentation is about it’s purpose. What is the ultimate goal of all this technology ? What is it that energizes hundreds of companies to fight everyday in this extremely difficult market ? Maybe the IoT is not about “Things” at all.
Resuming, deepening roots into matter to elevate into the cloud. This is what IoT and Actility are about.
Elyess Kammoun, TGS/TGITS/MTE/IND/SII, Solution Manager, TOTAL Global Services
Total presents multiple exciting use cases deployed on Actility’s ThingPark Platform, using dozens of thousands of LoRaWAN devices for asset tracking, predictive maintenance, environment monitoring and energy efficiency, deploying in 30 factories un Europe already with projects to implement those IoT Solutions on all continents.
By Michel Harttree, Federal IoT Architect at Cisco, who explores how IoT deployments, using LoRaWAN and Actility’s ThingPark Platform, modernize US Government missions. Safety and efficiency improvements have become major concerns for governments and military around the world, but security concerns and scalability issues need to be addressed. The major benefits of LoRaWAN address the concerns, and we have learn many valuable and practical lessons in these deployments.

Microsoft presents various use cases that leverage LoRaWan plus Azure, with compelling customer examples, some of them done on Actility’s ThingPark Platform. For instance, 20,000 Smart Building IoT Sensors deployed by Beyond Eyes, who provides together with, Clickey, Microsoft and Actility, a smart building solution and several data-driven services for clients, based on a wide variety of building types, including offices, museums, universities, hospitals and others.
Birdz and Actility are working jointly on a 3M LoRaWAN water meter deployment through OBS, which use Actility to operate their French nationwide LoRaWAN network, and had agreed with Birdz-Veolia to use it for this project. At this session, Laure Simon, Project Director at VEOLIA, will provide an insight on this massive project, along wiht insights from Remi Demerle , Marketing Director, Semtech), Damien Fresier (Project Manager Greenalp), Juan Villar (Chief Operating Officer, Nortegas Energía).
Nicolas Sornin, Chief Scientist Officer at API-K, Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility, Olivier Seller, Technical Fellow – Wireless IP at Semtech: all three are the true inventors of LoRaWAN. Hear their insights on the development of this technology at this dedicated discussion.
National Narrowband Network Company (NNNCo), operator of the Australian national LoRaWAN® network powered by Actility, has joined ThingPark Exchange to cover the most remote parts of Australia. Speakers Rob Zagarella (Co-Founder & CEO) and Tony Tilbrook (CTO/COO) from NNNCo will talk about their deployements and use cases, and, among other things, about roaming and multicast capabilities of LoRaWAN, which, combined with the ubiquitous and sustainable nature of the network and a dynamic ecosystem.
In this session, Mike Rohrmoser, Segment Lead at Amazon Web Services and Gaurav Gupta, Sr. Partner Solutions Architect, will cover how the AWS’s 1-click integration with LNS providers like Actility make it easy for customers to simplify deployment at scale and drive business outcome. Actility’s integration with AWS IoT and ThingPark’s availability AWS Marketplace will be highlighted.

By Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility and panelists from each operator type; private, public, hybrid, co-op and satellite and panelists from: NNNCo, Everynet, Senet, Senra, Helium, ATC Brazil. Are you aware that LoRaWAN open ecosystem fosters Network Business Model innovation ? Did you know that LoRaWAN Network providers are able to set-up and combine any type of Networks : Public, Private, Community, terrestrial and satellite, applying any service model ?
During the whole event, an Actility ThingPark Enterprise LoRaWAN private network was reporting live temperature, humidity, light, carbon dioxide and occupancy statuses using data from Elsys, Parametric and Sensative sensors installed around the facility. The sensor values will be transmitted using Motorola LoRaWAN gateways and visualized using IoThink’s KHEIRON Studio.
Moreover, fifty attendees were equipped with Abeeway smart badges whose locations will be updated on the event floor plan in real time.
