Urban
LoRaWAN network protocol features low power consumption of terminal devices, high penetrating ability and signal protection from interference. Direct LoRa modulation provides a communication range of up to 15 km in open areas.
For urban environments, the communication range depends on conditions and takes into account different indicators:
-
Building density, building height;
-
The material of walls the radio signal has to go through;
-
The base stations location height and their quantity;
-
Presence or absence of radio interference from mobile operators.
Range
The maximum range in urban conditions, achieved in Atiko projects, is 5 km. The lie of the ground and low building density contributed. For projects with high building density, this rate turned out to be much lower, but the installation of additional stations completely solved the client’s problem. In addition, it became possible to quickly connect more different devices to the network.
The data transmission range in the LoRaWAN network is provided by the use of wideband modulation at the physical level. The more interference there is for the radio signal, the shorter the range.
