2 Introduction What is WeightlessTM ?

Weightless is a bi-directional, low-power Weightless’ biggest feat to date: winning technology that can connect Taiwan’s largest IoT tender in 2018. A rigorous, thousands of devices to a single base station 13-month trial showcased Weightless’ superb over long ranges. Aimed to support all types of performance over all other wireless large-scale IoT applications, Weightless technologies. Ubiik’s proposal with Weightless achieves ultra low-power operation which can ultimately claimed victory. support both battery-powered devices and powered devices on the same network.

The Weightless technology value is maximised when applied to dense urban networks with a high volume of end devices that require more reliable and frequent uplinks/downlinks.

A single Weightless base station can provide ideal urban coverage and supports a large network of devices which lowers hardware infrastructure costs. Anyone can acquire Weightless hardware and create their private or public LPWAN network.
