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.

Soracom's Reliable IoT Connectivity Powers BinSentry's Livestock Feed Solutions
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Soracom, Inc., a global IoT platform provider with full cellular MVNO capability, announced today that BinSentry, an agriculture technology company, is leveraging Soracom's IoT building blocks and connectivity to enable its machine learning-enabled sensors to support intelligent, automated feed management solutions for feed mill operators, ag industry vertical integrators, and livestock farms. Accurate inventory management and supply chain efficiency traditionally have been challenging for suppliers, sellers, and buyers of livestock feed because monitoring the amount of feed inside a bin or a silo requires frequent time-consuming and potentially unsafe manual checks. Often, workers at feed mills, vertical processing plants, or livestock barns climb tall ladders multiple times each day and bend over the side of a silo to look deeply into it to assess the amount of feed remaining inside. 'We have up to 76,000 points we're measuring inside of a silo, and about 9,600 inside a feed bin, and we measure every single one of them about 50 times every five seconds,' said Nathan Hoel, Co-Founder and CTO of BinSentry. 'We now monitor 40,000 devices and send as much raw data back to the cloud as we can from our sensors to then apply AI to that raw data–about half a million total measurements–just to get an accurate assessment of the volume inside of a single bin.' These requirements led BinSentry to Soracom and the company's complete package of reliable cellular IoT connectivity, flexible SIM usage and billing, and MVNO agreements covering more than 180 countries and territories across more than 360 carriers. To make it all work, BinSentry required reliable IoT connectivity to its on-site sensors spread widely across mostly-rural areas in North American markets. The company experimented with a number of connectivity technologies, including LoRaWAN and NB-IoT, before choosing LTE Cat-M1 because it ran off the same widespread, existing network as LTE phones. BinSentry offers time-of-flight sensors that can be placed inside large feed bins, and that use infrared light pulses to measure feed levels. The image and distance data that is collected is transmitted back to the cloud to enable the creation of 3D images of feed bin inventories. It's an intelligent, automated remote monitoring solution that quickly and safely provides feed mills and others with extremely accurate inventory data. 'What we discovered was that having access to as many different carriers as possible in rural areas was extremely important, and so we needed an MVNO with as many carrier agreements as possible who would allow us to easily switch SIMs from one carrier to another when we need to,' Hoel said. 'BinSentry's experience is evidence of how reliable cellular IoT connectivity can power new business models in the agriculture industry, and other verticals as well,' said Kenta Yasukawa, Ph.D., CTO and co-founder of Soracom, Inc. 'Being bearer, cloud and hardware-agnostic allows us freedom to partner directly with our customers to provide the right building blocks to enable and scale their IoT deployments.' About BinSentry BinSentry is an agricultural technology company developing an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solution which enables feed mills and livestock producers to effectively monitor on-farm inventory, dramatically increasing operational efficiencies. Powered by solar and operating on low-power, long range networks, their cutting-edge solution installs in less than 10 minutes and delivers data to the cloud, reliably and without interruption. Equipped with a wealth of actionable insights that BinSentry's software delivers, BinSentry customers can automate ordering, prioritize production, and optimize the transportation of feed - eliminating feed outages while gaining more insight into animal performance.
