LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN is a Low Power Wide Area Network specification (LPWAN) for wireless battery-powered systems in a wireless network in accordance with IEEE 802.15.4. The network enables seamless data exchange between end devices (nodes), sensors, gateways, and the IT infrastructure via a uniform transmission protocol. As the first open standard, LoRaWAN considers the requirements of IoT applications.
- Bidirectional, encrypted communication
- Use of the public ISM band (in Europe: 868 MHz)
- Low energy consumption from 100 nA to 10 mA in stand-by mode
- Very high receiving sensitivity up to -140 dBm at a transmission power of 20 dBm
- Range of up to several kilometers possible
