Semtech LoRaWAN Academy
Case Study: Strategic Web Design for Innovative IoT Study Program
The challenge of designing the LoRaWAN Academy website involved the rapid definition and creation of a website, along with the integration of digital marketing strategies, all while the business particulars and branding were in the developmental stages. The Bynder Group played a pivotal role by offering strategic insights, visionary input, and design proficiency to develop a website specifically tailored to engage the academic community. This platform was designed with the aim of encouraging universities to participate in this beneficial program.
LoRaWAN Academy provides established university engineering programs with the coursework, hardware, software, and all the tools to effectively teach real-world IoT applications to their students and provide university departments with access to a dynamic professional network.
Faced with building a new brand and website from scratch—and within a quick time-to-market—our client Semtech turned to Bynder Group for guidance and expertise in conceptualizing and designing an effective new web property for this important initiative.
We collaborated closely with Semtech’s key stakeholder team and their partners, employing a strategic process to swiftly achieve outstanding results:
Achieving Measurable Success
The methodology led to a website that effectively conveys the program’s details, enhancing credibility for Semtech’s new sub-brand. Key features include prominently showcasing corporate sponsors and offering authoritative blog content.

Based on research, we designed the site primarily for desktop interaction and the site is also optimized for mobile experience for best possible and user experience and SEO value in all formats.
The results of this expedited effort have been impressive. Within just a few days, LoRaWAN Academy acquired more than 40% of their targeted conversion goals.
