LoRaWAN
The LoRaWAN® specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery operated ‘things’ to the internet in regional, national or global networks, and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localization services.
What is a LoRaWAN?
The LoRaWAN protocol is a Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWAN) communication protocol that functions on LoRa. The LoRaWAN specification is open so anyone can set up and operate a LoRa network. LoRa is a wireless audio frequency technology that operates in a license-free radio frequency spectrum.
Is LoRaWAN free?
LoRaWAN® specification is an open standard, it is open to anyone, free of charge, and there are no license fees or other fees associated with its usage. There are open-source implementations of the LoRaWAN® stack, both on the device side, and the cloud side. In that sense, LoRaWAN® is free to use.
How far can LoRa transmit?
The name, LoRa, is a reference to the extremely long-range data links that this technology enables. Created by Semtech to standardize LPWANs, LoRa provides for long-range communications: up to three miles (five kilometers) in urban areas, and up to 10 miles (15 kilometers) or more in rural areas (line of sight).
What devices use LoRaWAN?
For over two years, the city of Tainan has used LoRaWAN devices to monitor garbage trucks and also monitor the water levels of rivers. Other cities across Taiwan deploy LoRaWAN in many different use cases: to manage dams, deliver fresh food, and even monitor bikes on the road.
LoRaWAN Gateway
SG50 facilitates connectivity in remote areas, combining solar power, a built-in battery, 4G communication, and advanced remote management. It enables wire-free deployment and independent operation in challenging environments.
SG50L uses a 45W standard solar panel to capture solar energy, simultaneously powering the device and recharging the internal battery in ample sunlight. It dynamically adjusts the charging current according to battery temperature to optimize solar energy usage and extend battery life.
SG50 ensures uninterrupted operations at night or during cloudy periods with its built-in battery. It features a reliable 25Ah internal battery, ensuring typical operation for up to 4 days without sunlight.
LoRaWAN Gateway Coverage
Support 8 channels for more than 2000 end-nodes connections in a radius of 13 km
