STMicroelectronics joins Zeta Alliance for access to its LPWAN
STMicroelectronics has joined the Zeta Alliance, which promotes the Zeta low-power wide area network (LPWAN). Zeta is a competitor to LoRa, Sigfox and NB-IoT, and came out of Shanghai-based ZiFiSense.
“ST is actively engaged with the industry bodies for all leading LPWAN standards for IoT connectivity and offers a portfolio of solutions,” according to ST. “Zeta has a strong value proposition and is taking its place among established LPWAN technologies. It is quickly becoming established throughout China, Japan, and beyond.”
“We believe ST will strengthen the ZETA developer ecosystem chain and promote further evolution and deployment of Zeta technology said ZiFiSense CEO Zhuoqun Li. “We look forward to working with ST to create a broader LPWAN 2.0 global IoT eco-system.”
