LoRa Connectivity

LoRa is a wireless technology that has been specially developed to exchange small amounts of data between objects and systems. It is a cost-effective solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

• Large telecom companies (e.q. KPN, Orange) are rolling out LoRa networks worldwide.
• It uses 868MHz/915MHz ISM bands, which is available worldwide.
• Long-range, energy-efficient, robust, scalable and mobile two-way communication (typical 10-15 km).
• Low power autonomous operation (10-15 years battery life).
• The LoRa network can determine the position of a device with an accuracy of 50 to 150 m.
• Thousands of nodes connect to a single gateway.
• You can set up your own network or use a commercially/publicly available one.

LoRa applications:

The applications where LPWAN's are applicable are endless, but if you look at the main applications driving the current network deployments it is: intelligent building, supply chain, smart city and agriculture. The main IoT applications for LPWA technology need a long battery life to enable 'fit and forget' or disposable end devices, a low-cost sensor and long-range connectivity. The LoRaWAN technology has been designed to respond to use cases where a sensor communicates small amounts of data a few times a day.
