Umanyano lwe-Wi-Fi kunye ne-LoRa ziyadibana ukuze zilwe ngcono ne-IoT

• Uxolo luye lwaqhambuka phakathi kwe-Wi-Fi kunye ne-5G ngezizathu ezilungileyo zoshishino
• Ngoku kubonakala ngathi inkqubo efanayo iyasebenza phakathi kweWi-Fi kunye neLora kwi-IoT
• Iphepha elimhlophe elihlola amandla entsebenziswano livelisiwe

Kulo nyaka kubekho 'isivumelwano' sohlobo oluthile phakathi kwe-Wi-Fi kunye neselula. Ngenxa yokwanda kwe-5G kunye neemfuno zayo ezithile (ukhuseleko lwangaphakathi oluhambelanayo) kunye nophuhliso lwetekhnoloji yangaphakathi ephucukileyo kwi-Wi-Fi 6 kunye nokuphuculwa kwayo (ulawulo lwayo), omabini amacala agqibe kwelokuba akukho namnye kubo onokuthatha indawo aze athintele omnye, kodwa banokuphila kunye ngovuyo (hayi nje ngolonwabo). Bayadingana kwaye wonke umntu uyaphumelela ngenxa yoko.

Eso sivumelwano sisenokuba senze ukuba kubekho ingxaki kwelinye icala loshishino apho abaxhasi betekhnoloji abachaseneyo bebesoloko behlasela: iWi-Fi (kwakhona) kunye neLoRaWAN. Ngoko ke abaxhasi be-IoT bafumanise ukuba nabo banokusebenzisana kakuhle kwaye banokufikelela kubutyebi beemeko ezintsha zokusetyenziswa kwe-IoT ngokudibanisa iitekhnoloji ezimbini zonxibelelwano ezingenalayisenisi.

Iphepha elitsha elimhlophe elikhutshwe namhlanje yiWireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) kunye neLoRa Alliance lenzelwe ukubeka ingcinga kwingxoxo yokuba “amathuba amatsha oshishino adalekayo xa iinethiwekhi zeWi-Fi ezakhiwe ngokwesiko ukuxhasa i-IoT ebalulekileyo, zidityaniswe neenethiwekhi zeLoRaWAN ezakhiwe ngokwesiko ukuxhasa usetyenziso lwe-IoT oluphantsi kakhulu.”

Eli phepha liphuhliswe ngegalelo elivela kwiinkampani zeselula, abavelisi bezixhobo zonxibelelwano kunye nabameli beetekhnoloji zonxibelelwano. Ngokuyintloko, libonisa ukuba usetyenziso olukhulu lwe-IoT alunangxaki kangako yokulibaziseka kwaye luneemfuno eziphantsi zokukhupha, kodwa lufuna inani elikhulu lezixhobo ezingabizi kakhulu nezisebenzisa amandla aphantsi kwinethiwekhi egubungela kakuhle.

Kwelinye icala, uqhagamshelo lwe-Wi-Fi lugubungela iimeko zokusetyenziswa ezimfutshane neziphakathi kumanqanaba aphezulu edatha kwaye lunokufuna amandla angaphezulu, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe yiteknoloji ekhethwayo kwizicelo ezisebenza ngamandla amakhulu ezijoliswe ebantwini ezifana nevidiyo yexesha langempela kunye nokukhangela kwi-intanethi. Okwangoku, i-LoRaWAN igubungela iimeko zokusetyenziswa ezikude kumanqanaba aphantsi edatha, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe yiteknoloji ekhethwayo kwizicelo eziphantsi kwe-bandwidth, kuquka neendawo ezinzima ukufikelela kuzo, ezifana nezinzwa zobushushu kwindawo yokuvelisa okanye izinzwa zokungcangcazela kwikhonkrithi.

Ngoko ke xa zisetyenziswa kunye, iinethiwekhi zeWi-Fi kunye neLoRaWAN ziphucula inani leemeko zokusetyenziswa kwe-IoT, kubandakanya:

• Isakhiwo esikrelekrele/Ukwamkela iindwendwe okukrelekrele: Zombini ezi teknoloji bezisetyenziswa amashumi eminyaka kuzo zonke izakhiwo, i-Wi-Fi isetyenziselwa izinto ezifana neekhamera zokhuseleko kunye ne-intanethi ekhawulezayo, kwaye i-LoRaWAN isetyenziselwa ukufumanisa umsi, ukulandelela impahla kunye nezithuthi, ukusetyenziswa kwegumbi nokunye. Eli phepha lichaza iimeko ezimbini zokudibana kwe-Wi-Fi kunye ne-LoRaWAN, kubandakanya ukulandelela ngokuchanekileyo impahla kunye neenkonzo zendawo kwizakhiwo zangaphakathi okanye ezikufutshane, kunye nokusasazwa kwezixhobo ezidingakalayo ngebhetri.
• Uqhagamshelo lweNdawo yokuhlala: I-Wi-Fi isetyenziselwa ukuqhagamshela izigidigidi zezixhobo zobuqu nezobuchwephesha emakhaya, ngelixa i-LoRaWAN isetyenziselwa ukhuseleko lwasekhaya kunye nolawulo lokufikelela, ukufunyanwa kokuvuza, kunye nokubeka iliso kwiitanki zepetroli, kunye nezinye izinto ezininzi. Eli phepha licebisa ukuba kusetyenziswe ii-picocell ze-LoRaWAN ezisebenzisa i-Wi-Fi backhaul kwibhokisi ephezulu yabasebenzisi ukwandisa ukugubungela iinkonzo zasekhaya kuluntu. Ezi "nethiwekhi ze-IoT zoluntu" zinokuxhasa iinkonzo ezintsha ze-geolocation, ngelixa zisebenza njengomqolo wonxibelelwano kwiinkonzo zokuphendula iimfuno.
• Uthutho lweeMoto kunye noBuchule: Okwangoku, i-Wi-Fi isetyenziselwa ukonwabisa abakhweli kunye nokulawula ukufikelela, ngelixa i-LoRaWAN isetyenziselwa ukulandelela iinqwelo kunye nokugcinwa kwezithuthi. Amatyala okusetyenziswa okuxutyiweyo achazwe kwiphephandaba aquka indawo kunye nokusasazwa kwevidiyo.

“Inyani yile yokuba akukho teknoloji inye eza kuhambelana neebhiliyoni zeetyala zokusetyenziswa kwe-IoT,” utshilo uDonna Moore, i-CEO kunye noSihlalo weLoRa Alliance. “Ziinkqubo zentsebenziswano ezifana nale ngeWi-Fi eziza kuqhuba ubuchule bokusombulula imiba ebalulekileyo, zisebenzise uluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo, kwaye ekugqibeleni, ziqinisekise impumelelo yokusasazwa kwe-IoT kwihlabathi liphela kwixesha elizayo.”
I-WBA kunye ne-LoRa Alliance zijonge ukuqhubeka nokuhlola ukudibana kwezobuchwepheshe be-Wi-Fi kunye ne-LoRaWAN.
