uGWAN (Amber-Link)

HIP19 amendments for alternate security implementations

Summary

'uG' is named as user generated, we called uGWAN as user generated Wide-Area Network.

By powered with Helium blockchain protocol, 'uG' products will upgrade to fully compatiable with Helium Network, including hotspot, multi-type environment sensor, aged care security devices, asserts tracking tags, etc.

Company Information

Amber-Link founded at Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in 2016. We focus on smart city, aged care security, assert tracking and environment sensor business for 5+ years. Design and deploy LoRaWAN hotspots with cable carrier operator, stat grid, local community together in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Anhui, Guizhou, etc.

deployed

2K+ hotstpot, with 300K+ sensor deployed for smart city since 2018.

Amber-link invested factory to setup own production line, including SMT and online automatic testing, with ISO9001/14001/45001, IATF16949 certificated.

Factory

Products including:

  • Dual-band(SubGHz + 2.4GHz) LoRaWAN Hostspot & Nano(Single/Dual channel) LoRa Hotspot

  • NS and IoT Platform

  • SX1302/1303 PCI-E module, LoRa+BLE device module

  • Environment (PH/oxygen, Tempeature/Humidity, Smoke, MicroWeave) Sensor

  • Industry controller (Modbus/485/relay/pressure/3-axis motion) sensor

  • Assert tracking (WiFi, GNSS, BLE), badges, tire sensor, etc.

A decentralized secured open network, world-wide roaming service, fair policy for long term maintenance, lower data transfer fee and public document/apply process, Helium network is linking all of the key factors together and leading to change the world's IoT data service mode, new IoT era is coming.

Amendments for alternate security implementations

Chipsec DX83E08(Datasheet) has similar security function as ATECC608, which support:

  • Secure Hardware-based Key Storage up to 8 keys, certificates or data
  • Hardware Asymmetric Sign, Verify, Key Agreement
    • ECC-GF(p): 256-btis
    • ECDSA: Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
    • ECDH/ECDHE: Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
    • Support SM2 Signature and Key Agreement
  • Hardware Symmetric Algorithms
    • Cipher algorithms: AES (128, 192, 256-bits) and SM4
    • Cipher mode: ECB, CBC, CTR, OFB, CFB, XTS, CCM, GCM
    • Hash(MAC) algorithms: SHA-1, SHA-2 and SM3
    • Hash mode: Raw, SSLMAC, HMAC

DX83E08 supports internal ECC key pair generation by I2C command 'Gen Key Pair', and stores the generated keys into internal OTP (One time programmable) Flash partition. PrivateKey could never be read out of the security chip.

DX83E08's I2C interface designed to support dynamic encryption, which protect system to be much safe on I2C bus communication. Especially, the feature is useful for ECDH to exchange generated keys between host and security chip.

To follow Helium's firmware software architecture, the DX83E08's driver on uGW800 series will be implemented by Erlang in full-node, and Rust in light-node.

Hardware Information

  • Which LoRa chipset are you planning to use in your gateway? SX1303 & SX1250

  • Where are you sourcing your components from? Semtech and local supply chain

  • How many radio modules/ concentrators can you procure?
    After mass production, >15K/month, by self

Manufacturing Information

  • Have you built and delivered radio hardware products before? Yes, LoRa, BLE, Wi-Fi, 433MHz, RFID, etc.
  • Have you built gateways before? Yes, LoRaWAN/Wi-Fi/BLE gateway, both SubGHz and 2.4GHz
  • How many gateways did you make? More than 3K+.

Concentrators module pass RF performance test in Semtech lab. Production line automatic RF performance check and data record.

Budget & Capital

  • How many of these are you hoping to make and sell? 3K in Mar., >10K/month after mass production
  • How much money will be required up-front? How much money do you have on-hand, and how much do you have access to? Have funded USD 3M for Helium Hotspot project kick-off, may increase invest to USD 5M depends on market.
  • What is your plan for additional financing if required? This is the second biggest risk in new hardware ventures - getting almost over the line and then running out of cash. So far, will control the buget with USD 5M.

Risks & Challenges

  • Concentrate IC: closely work with Semtech and set the pre-paid order in Dec already.
  • Security IC: Microchip ATECC608 is shortage in market, use second solution for replacement. Need Helium's engineering team support to check the new solution a.s.a.p.
