Symphony Link is a LPWAN IoT Network. LPWAN stands for Low-Power Wide-Area Network. LPWA is a IoT connectivity that works over wide areas and with longer battery life. Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) technology is enabling the next big jump towards a connected world and IoT. Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) technology is enabling the next big jump towards a connected world and IoT. LPWA networks are designed for IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications that have low data rates, require long battery life and optimized cost, and operate in remote and hard to reach locations. They will be easy to implement and deploy, and serve a number of vertical markets such as manufacturing, wearable, utilities and transport.

What is Symphony Link?

Symphony Link is also built on LoRa’s chirped spread spectrum physical layer technology; it is an alternative specification to LoRaWAN developed by Link Labs. Link Labs serves customers who are trying to sell third-party connected devices in an enterprise or industrial setting.

Symphony Link is a wireless solution for enterprise and industrial customers who need to securely connect their IoT devices to the cloud. It’s the only LPWA system with:

Repeaters – Symphony Link™ grows with you. Expand network range using power-efficient repeaters without impacting latency.

Symphony Link™ grows with you. Expand network range using power-efficient repeaters without impacting latency. 100% Acknowledgements – Symphony Link™ acknowledges all uplink and downlink messages to ensure successful transmission from devices. Quality Of Service – Symphony Link™ manages frequencies, time slots, node privilege and throughput to insure QoS.

Symphony Link™ manages frequencies, time slots, node privilege and throughput to insure QoS. Firmware Over-the-air – Symphony Link™ economizes on resources by enabling patch security issue patches or new feature or bug fix management without physical, human attention. WiFi and ZigBee ranges are too limiting, cellular is too expensive and power-hungry, and most LPWAN systems don’t have the features necessary for your application. Symphony Link is specifically designed for low power, wide-area network (LPWAN) applications that are easily scalable and perform with best-of-class reliability. Specs Guaranteed message receipt: Because Symphony Link acknowledges every message, you’ll know immediately if a message has been successfully transmitted from your device.

Because Symphony Link acknowledges every message, you’ll know immediately if a message has been successfully transmitted from your device. Real-time power and data rate control: Before every Symphony Link transmission, an end device calculates the reverse link to the gateway and adjusts its transmit power and modulation rate to match. This way, nodes throughout the network have a balanced link budget.

Before every Symphony Link transmission, an end device calculates the reverse link to the gateway and adjusts its transmit power and modulation rate to match. This way, nodes throughout the network have a balanced link budget. Multiple gateway coexistence: Symphony Link uses a dynamic channel mask controlled by the gateway, ensuring as few collisions as possible.

Symphony Link uses a dynamic channel mask controlled by the gateway, ensuring as few collisions as possible. Bidirectional message acknowledgement: Symphony Link’s adaptive acknowledgement encoder allows nodes to transmit less frequently, which saves battery power and increases system reliability.

Symphony Link’s adaptive acknowledgement encoder allows nodes to transmit less frequently, which saves battery power and increases system reliability. Interference avoidance: Up to 48 gateways (and their star networks) can coexist in the 915-MHz ISM band without affecting performance or adding redundant receive channels. This means adding a gateway truly increases capacity, unlike other LPWAN systems. Extensible API: Symphony Link end users have the option of adding functionality directly into the gateway through an API, which allows for systems that receive a message from a local node to immediately process and generate a response without any internet connection.

Symphony Link end users have the option of adding functionality directly into the gateway through an API, which allows for systems that receive a message from a local node to immediately process and generate a response without any internet connection. Decentralized architecture: Symphony Link gateways perform a large portion of network processing locally, eliminating the need for a single, intensive processing server. This means gateways can continue performing most of their functions during a network outage or in a disconnected state, ensuring no data is lost once the network is running again.
