Collaboration integrates Semtech’s LoRa®
devices with Ripl Networks’ IP mesh, 3D location tracking software
to help secure naval ports
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high
performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced
algorithms, announced Ripl Networks, the leader in IP networking
for low power devices, has been selected by the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) to deploy an IP mesh, 3D tracking solution for
foreign guest and fleet assets at naval ports.

Semtech’s LoRa® devices provide the long range, low-bandwidth
connectivity for Ripl’s IP over low power devices messaging system
called MLMesh™. Ripl’s software enables Tiny Edge computing where
low cost, machine learning emitters can live inside the Enterprise
IP network. The combined technology enables low power devices to
talk Internet Protocol (IP) at long distances while accurately
tracking 3D locations without GPS or cellular towers.
“Ripl lets Tiny-Edge computers talk IP creating a long distance,
wire-free extension of the IP WAN,” said Kerry Shih, CEO of Ripl
Networks. “LoRa devices’ proven distance and low power enables Ripl
to offer an IP fabric up to 20km from node to node with a battery
life up to 10 years.”
The DoD was searching for 3D tracking of assets in a private, IP
network that would support low power sensors. “After what we’ve
seen demonstrated around the Port of Hueneme, I trust we’ll
continue to see investment in progressive technologies like Tiny
Edge computing and Ripl MLMesh,” said Alan Jaeger, Director of
NavalX Ventura TechBridge at the Department of Navy. “Ripl and LoRa
combine to secure this new class of networked computers using IP
infrastructure versus creating a second data network just for
IoT.”
The Port of Hueneme, the only deep-water harbor between Los
Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area, will be the first DoD
deployment of the asset tracking solution. Port of Hueneme CEO
& Port Director Kristin Decas said, “We are proud of our long
history of vigilance when it comes to security on the port. Ripl
will help further that mission with real-time, 3D location tracking
of assets for which we are responsible.”
Ripl Networks will act as the systems integrator with other key
technologies, including Avnet’s IoT Connect platform, which will
serve as the backend system for data storage and monitoring.
“Semtech’s LoRa platform enables the rapid and scalable
deployment of military-grade applications, such as Ripl Networks’
asset tracking solution,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of IoT
Product Marketing for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products
Group. “We are pleased to assist the U.S. Department of Defense in
its efforts to monitor and secure critical American assets.”
