Standards group Weightless has launched hardware and software for its Weightless-P low power, long range wireless technology for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Working with antenna specialist Antenova, the Special Interest Group has launched the 'Weightless Ignition Pack, provides Weightless-P network connectivity out of the box. The basestation uses an Altera FPGA to provide the low power wide area network (LPWAN) protocol handling.

The packs include a Weightless-P base station, end device modules, antennas, a full Weightless-P protocol stack for the base station, end device and host as well as all necessary cabling. The pack will enable a Weightless-P IoT network to be deployed ‘out of the box’.
“We have been working for more than two years now on a technology that significantly moves the LPWAN game on,” said Fabien Petitgrand, technical representative for the Weightless SIG. "The Weightless Ignition Pack includes hardware and full Weightless-P software protocol stack combination delivering substantive improvements and competitive advantages over existing IoT connectivity options.”
The Weightless Ignition Pack (list price USD$1500) will be made available as part of a pre-launch offer on the Weightless website with a limited number offered to Weightless Developers free of charge at try.weightless.org/ctia.
Weightless-P is an Open Standard for a high capacity LPWAN that is designed for performance. It aims to become the de facto standard for public and private IoT networks.
