What is it?
LoRa is a long-range wireless technology that enables data transmission over long distances using low-power radio waves. Ideal for IoT, LoRa enables reliable and efficient communication for a wide range of applications.
LoRaWAN technology enables long-distance data transfer, up to 5 km in urban environments and up to 15 km in rural environments, providing high resistance to electromagnetic interference. This feature makes it ideal for use in noisy settings.
How does it work?
LoRa uses a proprietary modulation scheme called Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) that enables it to transmit data over long distances with extremely low power consumption. With this modulation scheme, the transmitted data is spread over a wide frequency band, which helps reduce the effects of interference and allows the signal to travel farther.
LoRa uses a star topology, which means that every device in the network communicates directly with a central gateway. The central gateway forwards data between the devices and the Internet. This allows devices to communicate with each other and with the Internet without the need for a direct connection.
