36. WHAT IS LUNAR ?
N E W W I R E L E S S T E C H N O L O G Y D E V E L O P E D T O G E T H E R W I T H Q U A L C O M M
Target segments
▪ Video and bandwidth-intense applications
▪ Security and surveillance cameras with lowest possible latency
▪ Virtual Reality headset
▪ Military, Healthcare and Industrial applications
▪ Sensors and high-density node environments, guaranteed QoS, interference immune
wireless infrastructures
Technology Properties
▪ Operates in 2.4G and 5 GHz ISM bands, using standard COTS Wi-Fi Silicon
▪ Completely replaces Wi-Fi stack with proprietary protocol optimized for low latency
▪ Wireless platform that scales from 900 kbps to > 150 Mbps
▪ Predictable low latency with high reliability:
▪ Round Trip Time (RTT) for short packets (64B): sub-ms (99.999%)
▪ System Capacity scales linearly with latency
▪ Introduces TDMA like structure to 802.11 to provide predictable RTT

37. LORA – LONG RANGE RADIO
RTX is a member of the LoRa alliance ensuring coexistence between LoRa devices operating in the worldwide ISM bands
What is LoRa ?
• LoRa is an low power spread spectrum radio technology operating in the sub-GHz ISM bands
• LoRa uses a patented modulation technique to achieve a superior link budget = long range (157dB)
• LoRa is a PHY layer technology implemented in silicon from Semtech
What is LoRaWAN ?
 LoRaWAN is a specification for an operator driven regional, national or global M2M network
 LoRaWAN specifies a star topology with gateways and sensor nodes
 LoRaWAN sensor nodes (class A) typically sends infrequent data, such as meter readings, on a
daily basis
 LoRaWAN uses the LoRa PHY and adds protocol layers on top
The SX1272 28-pin LoRa RF
from Semtech
Besides building nodes for LoRaWAN, what else can RTX do ?
 RTX offers customers the ability to build private, secure, license-free radio coverage of larger areas
such as parking lots, hospitals, factories and warehouses, forest and fields
 We can build networks fully customized to the use case, ie. not limited by LoRaWAN spec
 We do this by controlling the LoRa PHY through own protocol firmware

47. EDF - MONITORING OF VALVES IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
▪ In a nuclear power plant, there are many critical steam valves, which need to be
controlled and monitored constantly.
▪ EDF was looking for a solution to ensure automatic surveillance and, if possible,
integration into the existing infrastructure.
▪ Due to safety and restrictions all systems can only be maintained once every 18
month’s.
▪ No drilling or wires allowed
▪ All power plants has today an existing DECT based cordless telephony
infrastructure.
▪ In order to roll out a reliable and cost efficient automated monitoring system, a
customized low-power DECT /DECT-ULE solution that reuses the existing wireless
infrastructure was designed.
▪ After successful testing this wireless sensor system was deployed and integrated
into the existing infrastructure in all 58 EDF nuclear power plants.
