LoRaWAN Gateways and LoRaWAN Sensors from leading manufacturers

LoRa has revolutionized IoT by enabling data communication over a long range while using very little power. Networks with LoRa, such as those leveraging the LoRaWAN standard, fill the technology gap of Cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) networks that require either high bandwidth or high power, or have a limited range or inability to penetrate deep indoor environments. In effect, LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN standard are flexible for rural or indoor use cases in a wide range of industries including smart cities, homes and buildings, communities, agriculture, metering and utilities, healthcare, environment, and supply chain and logistics.

Networks based on LoRa are ideal for water and gas metering, asset tracking, homes and buildings, and many more applications where low power consumption, long range and the ability to penetrate physical structures are required.

Like Wi-Fi, networks based on LoRa operate in the unlicensed band and support indoor applications; like Cellular, LoRa devices and networks are highly secure from end devices to the application server, and are suitable for outdoor applications. LoRa devices and networks such as LoRaWAN combine these benefits of Wi-Fi and Cellular to offer an efficient, flexible and economical connectivity solution ideal for IoT applications whether indoor or outdoor, and installed in public, private or hybrid networks. Simple sensor data can fuel analytics platforms, such as those for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
