A journey from an 5G IoT standard to productization

5G Mesh IoT - from standard to productization

The journey from an idea to a standard is a long one. It always starts with an idea and some problem solvers. We've got them! We had defined the problem and rolled up our sleeves. Even though our employees are very very experienced, no standard comes from one place. We've been involved in different standardization groups too. Now we are extremely close to getting this all out to the world as a product, not just an idea. Here are some news and blog posts along the way.

World’s first non-cellular 5G technology sets example of new era connectivity, gets ITU-R approval

In a pioneering decision, the world’s first non-cellular 5G technology standard has been recognized by International Telecommunication Union’s Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) and included as part of the 5G standards in IMT-2020 technology recommendation.

Research confirms the new IoT standard delivers the 5G promise for massive IoT

The simulations of VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland prove the performance and scalability of the new global IoT standard DECT-2020 New Radio (NR) for massive machine type of communication. The technology, already on its way to be included in the 5G standard, exceeds the 5G requirements defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Wirepas announces world’s first non-cellular 5G technology, sets new global standard for IoT

Wirepas, an IoT connectivity company from Finland, has developed an infrastructure-less and autonomous technology, now becoming the first non-cellular 5G. The new 5G standard for IoT challenges the cellular monopoly.

The new global IoT standard outperforms the cellular based IoT alternatives

This global IoT connectivity standard DECT-2020 New Radio outperforms existing cellular LPWAN solutions LTE-M and NB-IoT, says a study published by Tampere University in Finland. The standard, designed for massive and dense deployments, has ten times lower latency, and requires significantly less power than the cellular alternatives. While not in the scope of this study, the specifications of the standard also promise higher bandwidth and lower cost along with the inherently high reliability of the mesh topology, making DECT-2020 NR an attractive option for industries.

Wirepas a key contributor to a new global IoT connectivity standard

ETSI (The European Telecommunications Standards Institute) has announced a new global IoT connectivity standard: DECT-2020 New Radio (NR). Wirepas has been one of the key contributors to it and has entirely shared its unique technology in an effort to help customers navigate the fragmented industrial IoT market.
