Full disclosure: I work for the company that is hosting the whitepaper.

This is great stuff, thanks for sharing! I just looked at your website, and I'm trying to figure out how energy harvesting fits into your business model. Just lowering the coefficient of friction for deploying LoRa networks? Where are you trying to take this?

Hi there, the member of our team who wrote this article joined us as part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with a local university.

While not directly related to our business model, we gain a lot in terms of understanding LoRaWAN networks; getting more people to deploy LoRa networks like you mentioned is also a plus.

To me this seems like it would enable the deployment of some sort of autonomous infrastructure that would function completely off the grid.

The data rate might not be very high, but it might suffice for simple messages.

[Metacomment: Most articles in this area are about a technology that in the future will be so efficient to charge your cell phone, notebook (or electric car :) ). This is more serious, with experiments with current technology, give it a try.]
