Simon Prior (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/simon-prior/3/3a8/85) and Marco Arnold (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/marco-arnold/76/9b5/39b) from Swisscom M2M (https://www.swisscom.ch/sc-campaign/m2m/en/index.html) will present LPN (http://lpn.swisscom.ch/), which is based on LoRaWAN (https://www.lora-alliance.org/What-Is-LoRa/Technology), a long range, low bandwidth, low power radio enabling novel Internet of Things applications.

Thomas Amberg (http://www.tamberg.org/), independent software engineer, founder of Yaler.net (https://yaler.net/) and organiser of IoT Zürich (http://www.meetup.com/IoT-Zurich/), will show a short demo of Swisscom's mBed LoRa Dev Kit (http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SX1276MB1MAS/SX1276MB1MAS-ND/5015648) and share some early insight.

Vit Prajzler (https://www.linkedin.com/in/prajzler), founder of Thalwil-based Loriot.io (https://loriot.io/), a "network as a service (NaaS)" provider, will share his LoRaWAN experience and bring some LoRa base-station hardware to check out.
