Semtech Corporation (SMTC - Free Report) recently announced that Polysense Technologies Inc. has unveiled a series of smart human body temperature monitoring products based on Semtech’s LoRa devices.
These products are expected to help public health officials to efficiently monitor the temperature of the public in places like airports, railway stations, schools, shopping centers and large building entrances. The real-time data from the temperature sensors will allow immediate screening of individuals with high temperature and thereby lead to enhanced public safety.
The LoRa Technology enables long-range connectivity of IoT devices and aids in connecting sensors to the cloud.
