Europe's ECC Approves Decision for Satellite to Low-Power Device Communications; Advances Satellite-based LoRaWAN® IoT
Joint effort by LoRa Alliance® members and regulators secures ECC approval, enabling broader deployment of low-power IoT applications across Europe ECC Approves Satellite for LoRaWAN FREMONT, Calif., July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The LoRa Alliance®, the global association of companies backing the open LoRaWAN® standard for the internet of things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), today announced that the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) of the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) has officially approved the Decision ECC DEC(25)021, confirming the regulatory framework enabling satellite-to-low power device communication with satellites (LPD-S) communications within the short-range device (SRD) 862-870MHz frequency band in Europe. This landmark decision, finalized during the ECC's June meeting, marks a significant advancement in enabling innovative satellite-based LPWAN IoT solutions, particularly LoRaWAN, across Europe. The approval is the result of a years-long collaboration between the LoRa Alliance and European regulators. The new regulations establish clear guidelines for the use of SRD spectrum by satellite systems communicating with LPD-S terminals on the ground. It is expected to facilitate the deployment of satellite services designed to support LoRaWAN applications in areas such as logistics, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and remote asset management. 'Advocating for LoRaWAN technology and spectrum access is one of the Alliance's main objectives,' said Alper Yegin, CEO of the LoRa Alliance. 'Maintaining open and available frequency bands is key to our members' ability to build businesses based on the open LoRaWAN wide area networking standard. It is validating to have a formal regulatory framework in place to guide future deployments. We extend our thanks to our members who have tirelessly advocated to secure this formal regulatory framework, ensuring broad access for satellite IoT solutions.' Key highlights of the decision: Satellite-to-LPDS communications are now harmonized in the 862-870MHz SRD band. The framework ensures coexistence with existing terrestrial SRD users while opening new avenues for non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments. LoRa Alliance initiatives in Europe contributed to comprehensive studies and to stakeholders' consultations conducted by ECC. 'This is a crucial step toward fostering innovation in the growing IoT sector. By enabling LPD-S devices to communicate with satellites within harmonized SRD spectrum, we unlock new possibilities for a wide range of technologies for reliable, low-power connectivity – even in remote or underserved regions,' said Chris Seifert, ECC Chairwoman. "The LoRa Alliance thanks all regulators from the ECC for their prompt actions and decisions enabling LPD-S devices to communicate with satellite within the harmonized SRD 862-870MHz band,' said Olivier Beaujard, LoRa Alliance Regulatory Working Group Chair and Chairman of the Board. 'The decision unlocks new opportunities for reliable, low-power LoRaWAN applications regardless of geographic location or deployed terrestrial infrastructure." Satellite to Low Power Device Communications Webinar On Sept. 11, 2025, the LoRa Alliance will host a webinar to discuss the ECC's regulatory framework, what it means for NTN LoRaWAN and how members will benefit from this decision.

Mother and daughter, 16, get into huge fight over STEPDAD 'who was sleeping with one and grooming the other'
California police made a disturbing revelation after breaking up a fight between a mother and daughter over the stepfather. Cops were called to the family's Fremont home in mid-June to a report of the fight between a mother and her 16-year-old daughter. Investigators soon learned that the teen claimed to be 'in love' with her mother's husband, reported The Mercury News. The stepfather, said to be in his late 30s, allegedly admitted to kissing the girl and loving her, according to text messages obtained by the police. He denied any sexual activity and allegedly told the girl to 'just deny it' if she was asked about having sexual relations with her stepfather. Police have been investigating the man for grooming and sexual abuse, but believe he has since fled the country. Authorities said they attempted to serve the man with a stay-away order while he was at work, but was told he left at lunch and never came back. Fremont is known as a safe community and was deemed the happiest city in America based on its financial stability, high life satisfaction and healthy living conditions, according to WalletHub. In 2024, there were 18 reported rapes in the city, 267 aggravated assaults and 775 simple assaults, according to the police department's annual report.

Fremont unveils affordable housing built on site of motel used to house homeless persons
The site of a former Fremont motel, once used to house homeless individuals, is now a gleaming new affordable housing complex that was unveiled on Wednesday. The opening comes after the city recently caught a lot of flak for adopting an ordinance that would make it illegal for anyone to "aid or abet" homeless campers. Some people accused them of being heartless. But at the same time, the city was quietly building more affordable housing than most Bay Area communities. "Three, two, one...!" City officials and project partners counted down as Mayor Raj Salwan performed the ceremonial ribbon-cutting. It was the official introduction of Bell Street Gardens, a 126-unit, all-affordable housing complex at Mowry Avenue and Bell Street, where the 70s-era Islander Motel once stood - a building known to cause headaches for the city. In 2018, the blighted motel and two adjacent empty parcels were sold to a redevelopment firm, and while the project was still in the planning stages, the city used the motel to provide shelter for homeless individuals and families. "That right there is the old motel, which you would never know. You can't even tell," said Carolyn Bookhart, project coordinator for Berkeley-based RDC, the nonprofit developer. "We basically brought it down to the studs. We added a third floor. The designers did a really great job. And so, yeah, it was a real transformation." Now, rather than creating problems, the property is helping solve them for people like Monique Orosco. She struggled to afford market-rate housing for years, watching as Bell Street Gardens was being built. When it was finished, she jumped at the chance to apply. "And when they did call me, I cried. I was on 880 and I was so thrilled, so happy," Monique said. "We do talk among each other and everybody has shed a tear, how it has changed their lives tremendously because now we feel safe and at home." "We combined each of the rooms in the motel to make up each apartment," said Rick Williams, a partner with Van Meter Williams Pollack, the urban design firm that turned the motel into apartments ranging from one-room studios up to 3-bedroom family units. Many rooms look out onto outdoor garden terraces, and the complex features a community room, laundry room, and even a room for bicycle storage. The project was conceived clear back in 2016, when it was harder to get projects approved, but interest rates and construction costs were more affordable. Now, that's flipped. "Today, in today's world, it's easier to get a project entitled, but it's more challenging to get it funded," said Williams. "It's a $60 million project in construction only. And now, it would be considered a deal because construction costs have gone higher." In other words, it's always something. But one thing that hasn't been a problem is the City of Fremont, which has invested $13 million from its housing fund to get the project started, and it now ranks third in the Bay Area for building affordable units. "The city was really the first one in," said Dan Sawislak, RCD executive director. "So, basically, they saw the potential of this project. They got behind it. They voted to support it financially. And they've been a really great city in terms of getting more affordable housing built and being a leader in that space." All this from a city that was being ridiculed for having such tough homeless laws. Salwan said it's about striking a balance. "As of now, we have not enforced anything," said Salwan. "We have not been strict at all. We've been less strict than San Francisco, less strict than Oakland, other cities. So, we got the notoriety, but we did our part. We're still doing our part. We're not running away." Salwan said Bell Street Gardens is just the second of five new affordable housing complexes scheduled to be completed this year in Fremont. For the record, the city has rescinded that ban on helping the homeless. Instead, they're doing what a lot of other communities aren't: putting their money where their mouth is and actually building places where people can afford to live.
