AT A GLANCERadio systems for wireless transmission are becoming increas-
ingly popular in industrial and home automation applications.
These primarily narrowband telemetry systems are utilized for
transmitting sensor data and control information across simple
network infrastructures. In the Internet of Things (IoT) era,
networked intelligent objects, people and things are the driving
force behind business and Industry 4.0 innovations.
Fraunhofer IIS created a technology platform designed for
robust, narrowband radio communication over long ranges that
is making an important contribution to the realization of IoT
applications. The solution relies on an asymmetric transmission
method, simple and low-cost sensor nodes and a complex
receiver connected within a star topology.
