> **[Sony chip transmits with 60 mile range](https://www.electronicsweekly.com/uncategorised/609406-2019-05/)** > >   Sony is launching a proprietary IoT LPWAN called ELTRES using modules which transmit with a 100km range, while moving at 100 km/h and operating off Observations (details started to emerge last year with a basic Sony run operator service in pilot deployment in Tokyo since last Sept) - YAPLPWAN (Yet another proprietary LPWAN offering! 🙂 ) @~80bps and with focus on bubble-up (uplink centric) apps more a competitor to Sigfox than LoRa/LoRaWAN? Offered in a (16mm x 16mmx2mm 65pad LGA) SIP/Module c/w GPS/GNSS receiver and MCU Based on a BPSK RF modulation variant but also with a sub-modulation based on a linear chirp Signal resiliance based on similar mechanisms to Sigfox and BlueTooth with the same data being repeated (decreased battery life/increase uJ/message?) with 4x repeat (BT & Sigfox use 3x repeat IIR) (~1.6s for 128bit payload?) Initially targeting Japan market and freq bands - local approvals in place and also now an ETSI substandard? (TS 103 357 “Lfour Family.”) -142db Rx sensitivity with 20dBm Tx available, LDPC Error correction built in Carrier Sense for LBT tx? ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/e/b/ebdd32e6e89d83b46414165ebfcdb08fefc8ee2b.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/the-library-basement-part-9/24016)._
