How mioty Ensures Reliable IoT Data Transmission — Even in Challenging Signal Environments

Efficient and secure wireless communication remains one of the biggest challenges in IoT. Diehl Metering and the mioty alliance rely on mioty, an LPWAN technology developed by Fraunhofer IIS, which stands out for its robustness and scalability through Telegram Splitting. This method splits data packets into smaller sub-packets and transmits them with a time delay. As a result, network load remains low, and even if up to 50% of the packets were lost, the message could still be fully reconstructed. Applications & Real-World Use Cases Smart Metering: A Diehl Metering field test in Prague demonstrated that mioty can transmit data from underground pits over 2 km, whereas LoRa failed after just 200 m. Industry & Smart Cities: Ford uses mioty for secure data transmission in production, while Olympus applies the technology to transmit data from shielded operating rooms. Future-Proofing: mioty is already being tested for satellite IoT and indoor positioning, achieving an accuracy of up to 10 meters. Conclusion mioty is a scalable, energy-efficient, and future-proof solution for IoT applications with high network traffic.
