mioty for maximum reliability and scalability
The LPWAN technology for reliable and highly scalable IoT infrastructures from Germany.
What is mioty?
mioty is a forward-looking radio standard for the Internet of Things (IoT), developed in Germany to meet the growing demands of connected systems. It was initiated in the mid-2010s by the Fraunhofer Institute with the goal of creating a particularly robust, scalable, and long-term alternative to existing IoT radio solutions. From the start, mioty was designed to reliably support industrial and critical applications—even in environments where traditional radio technologies reach their limits.
What is the mioty Alliance?
The mioty Alliance was founded to establish mioty as an open, globally deployable IoT standard. It brings together international technology companies, users, and research institutions to collaboratively advance, standardize, and promote mioty in the market.
As an independent organization, the Alliance ensures that mioty remains interoperable across manufacturers and available for the long term—positioning the technology as a European solution to growing demands for digital sovereignty, scalability, and future-proof IoT infrastructure.
Today's IoT Challenges
In the near future, more than 30 billion devices will be connected to the Internet. As the number of devices and data traffic grows, the available radio spectrum becomes increasingly congested. This leads to more interference, network instability, and potential loss of large amounts of data—including valuable information.
While the Internet of Things (IoT) has changed how we interact with the world around us, its practical use is still limited by key factors that slow down its full potential.
Technological Limits of Current LPWAN Approaches
Proprietary wide-area IoT connectivity solutions, such as traditional LPWAN technologies, are particularly affected by this trend. These technologies were designed for point-to-point communication, not for large-scale deployments, making them vulnerable to interference. They also have a number of other limitations that can hinder deep and transformative changes in IoT applications.
- Low interference resistance: In noisy environments, high packet error rates lead to information loss.
- Coexistence issues: Conflicts with other radio networks cause infrastructure instability, limiting application scope and service quality.
- High energy consumption: Inefficient or repeated data transmissions reduce battery life.
- Long on-air times: Data packets are more vulnerable to jamming attacks and external interference.
- Limited suitability for mobile applications: Reduces the range of possible use cases.
- Proprietary solutions: Hinder interoperability of IoT devices and platforms, leading to vendor lock-in and restricted investment flexibility.
The mioty Technology
mioty is a software-based Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) standard designed to overcome today’s and future limitations of wireless connectivity. With top-tier reliability and scalability, mioty is specifically built for massive industrial and commercial IoT deployments.
The core innovation of mioty is the Telegram Splitting Multiple Access (TSMA) method. As defined in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI TS 103 357) specification, data packets are split into many small sub-packets at the sensor level and transmitted at staggered times.
These sub-packets are then transmitted at staggered times over different frequencies. An algorithm in the base station continuously monitors the radio spectrum for mioty sub-packets and reassembles them into a complete message. Thanks to sophisticated Forward Error Correction (FEC), the receiver only needs 50% of the radio bursts (short transmission events) to fully reconstruct the information. This greatly reduces the impact of damaged or lost bursts due to collisions and significantly increases interference resistance.
