Key features
Long-range communication
The LoRa modulation scheme enables communication over distances up to 15 km in rural areas and 2-5 km in urban areas.
Low power requirements
LoRaWAN devices are made to use little power so that they can last for years on a single battery.
Bi-directional communication
LoRaWAN allows data to be sent and received between devices and the network.
Secure communication
LoRaWAN uses AES encryption to ensure secure communication between devices and the network.
The features of a LoRaWAN network address the following problems:
-
Wi-Fi and other short-range wireless technologies are limited when connecting low-power, low-bandwidth IoT devices.
-
The requirement for a scalable, affordable method of interconnecting IoT devices over vast distances.
-
The absence of a defined, secure connection method for IoT devices
Benefits
Cost-effective connectivity for IoT devices
LoRaWAN is a cost-effective option for long-distance IoT device tethering.
Long-range communication
LoRaWAN enables communication across great distances, which is impossible with current wireless technologies.
Low power consumption
LoRaWAN devices utilize less energy, resulting in longer battery life and lower maintenance expenses.
Secure communication
LoRaWAN uses AES encryption to ensure that devices and the network communicate securely.
Scalability
LoRaWAN is a scalable solution that can be expanded without difficulty as the number of connected devices grows.
