LoRa Alliance comes prepared to talk IoT security | FierceWireless
They get the security questions a lot, in part, because cellular operators often point to their licensed IoT spectrum as being more secure than the unlicensed IoT varieties. LoRa is based on a spread spectrum technology developed by California-based Semtech Corp. and uses unlicensed spectrum.
LoRaWAN devices are deployed in the field for long periods of time—like 10 years—so their security must be future-proof, said Sara Brown, vice president of marketing at long-time LoRa Alliance member Multi-Tech and co-chair of the LoRa Alliance’s Marketing Committee. Multi-Tech makes equipment for IoT, including solutions based on LoRaWAN but also for LTE-based IoT.
