What is LoRaWAN?

LoRaWAN is a type of long-range wireless (typically up to 10 km or up to 1336km) at a very-low bit rate.

  • LoRaWAN is estimated to be the leading non-cellular LPWAN technology by 2026.
  • It will account for more than half of all non-cellular LPWA connections, ensuring the start of a splendid future.
  • In the segment of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN), LoRaWAN® is the most popular technology.

The Benefits of LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN is the best wireless technology for IoT in long range:

  • Long range wireless: Typilcally 4-5 building floor, 1-10km in open space and 100+ km in open sea or from air.
  • Long lasting battery: LoRaWAN IoT nodes can last 1-10 year on battery thanks to ultra-low power usage. That allows us to deploy LoRaWAN IoT nodes in remote areas without much maintenance.
  • Global standard: Every servers, gateways and nodes from every vendor in LoRaWAN ecosystem will work together. You can buy the gateways and nodes from hundreds vendors in the market.
