Orange pursues Internet of Things strategy

Orange is deploying a LoRa network in 17 French urban areas and is continuing work to standardise 2G/4G networks

Announced in September 2015, the network for the Internet of Things using LoRa technology (Long Range) will be rolled out gradually across France.

At the same time, Orange is continuing standardisation work on future cellular networks (2G/4G)2, optimised for the Internet of Things, which will be operational in 2017.

By the end of the year Orange and Ericsson will perform the first usage trial of 2G/4G networks. The technical tests will focus primarily on coverage in difficult areas such as basements and on sensor life.
