Over the past few years, Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) have become very well-liked. These are wireless networks that need very little power and enable long-distance communication. One of the most well-liked LPWAN technologies, LoRaWAN is utilized in a variety of applications. We will talk about the common LoRaWAN applications and use cases in this article. What is LoRaWAN Technology LoRaWAN is a wireless technology that sends data over great distances using the unlicensed radio spectrum. The LoRa modulation technique, on which it is based, enables great sensitivity, low power consumption, and long-distance communication. LoRaWAN networks are perfect for long-range communication applications because they can reach distances of up to several kilometers. Gateways in LoRaWAN networks collect data from end devices, while a network server controls data delivery. End devices emit tiny data packets at regular intervals and are battery-operated. The low-cost, low-power design of LoRaWAN networks makes them

This article is an introduction to Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) sensors and why they are important. It explains the benefits of deploying a LoRaWAN sensor, what an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor is, what types of sensors are available, and the working principle of the LoRaWAN sensors followed by a few different types of LoRaWAN sensors. Finally, we will conclude with the advantages of using LoRaWAN sensors in your IoT application.  What is LoRaWAN and why is it important?  As discussed in previous articles, LoRaWAN stands for “Long Range Wide Area Network” which is a network protocol sitting on top of the LoRa radio modulation. It has become popular with the advancement of Alliances promoting LoRa in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These promising features include:  These features make LoRaWAN a popular option for Low Power WAN (LPWAN) IoT applications which require a small payload and bandwidth.  What

LoRaWAN networks are becoming popular among different IoT applications and verticals hence it would be worthwhile to investigate on their usage, features, and operations. In this article, we will be discussing what is LoRa and LoRaWAN individually and the main difference between them. Next, we will discuss in detail how to realize LoRaWAN networks which are based on the LoRa RF modulation scheme. Finally, we conclude our article while identifying different potential applications of LoRa-based devices and their advantages over other available IoT communication protocols.  What is LoRa? LoRa stands for “Long Range Wide Area,” and is a popular radio modulation scheme in realizing low power and long-range radio communication. It is one of the most popular radio modulation schemes used for long-range Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Though LoRa, is being there for a while it is recently LoRa gained much popularity as the chipsets enabling
