LORAWAN Networks
LORAWAN, an acronym for Low Power Long Range Wide Area Network, is a low-speed, low energy consumption and long-range wireless communication technology. LORAWAN makes it possible to offer small, inexpensive IOT sensors, generally battery-powered, which communicate data over large distances. The possibility of deploying numerous sensors locally also makes this technology very economical. These characteristics have opened the door to the deployment of numerous use cases, previously difficult or unprofitable to implement.
A LORAWAN network is a wireless communication network which allows, thanks to the installation of a simple Gateway (LORAWAN Gateway), the communication of several hundred IOT sensors over large distances (up to 20 km).
Communication consumes little energy and allows the sensors to operate on battery power, which avoids the cost and constraints of external power supply
Long distance communication makes it possible to limit the equipment (gateways, antennas) required, making deployment very economical
The cost of this technology is low, and makes it possible to make many use cases profitable until now impossible to “digitalize”.
