At the Things Conference in Amsterdam later this month, Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO of NeoCortec, will give a keynote speech on how NeoMesh on LoRa overcomes star topology limitations, supports dense networks and enables years-long operation on small batteries.

The keynote will include real-world examples and data to highlight the advantages in reliability, coverage and power consumption. He will discuss the combination of the two wireless technologies.

Traditional LoRa-based wireless often relies on single-hop communication, limiting scalability, increasing edge energy use and reducing reliability in dynamic environments. NeoMesh on LoRa combines true mesh networking with LoRa’s long-range, interference-resistant phy.

NeoMesh is a decentralised mesh protocol optimised for battery-powered devices. Each node acts as a router, enabling autonomous self-configuration, dynamic routing and multi-hop communication, all without a central coordinator. Paired with LoRa modulation, it offers extended range and signal robustness, suitable for smart agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, industrial IoT and remote sensing.

At the conference, NeoCortec and its Italian partner Embit, manufacturer of wireless modules, will be showing their latest EMB-LR1121-e/mesh module, a dual band (subGHz and 2.4GHz) embedded LoRa-enabled NeoMesh wireless network module.

The companies will demo a NeoMesh (neocortec.com/technology) wireless network using LoRa modulation. Visitors to the stand can learn more about the features and benefits plus how the combination of NeoMesh’s simple and massive scalability, reliability and low power with Semtech’s LoRa modulation ability to perform well in noisy environments, such as buildings where other 2.4GHz radio systems such as wifi and Bluetooth are also present, will work in their respective application. The demo will also show how easy it is to set up and run such a wireless network.

Furthermore, Embit (www.embit.eu) will be holding a hands-on workshop at the conference where attendees can explore and experience the NeoMesh on LoRa modulation modules in action themselves.

Danish company NeoCortec (neocortec.com) was founded in 2007 with the aim of developing and patenting several innovations related to wireless sensor networks. The main product is NeoMesh, a wireless communication protocol to be embedded in smart devices to enable communication between the devices as well as to the cloud.

The Things Conference (www.thethingsconference.com) in the Netherlands runs from September 23 to 24. Halkier’s keynote speech will be at 15.55 on Tuesday the 23rd and called: “NeoMesh on LoRa: Bringing True Mesh Networking to the LoRa Phy.”
