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.
