WHAT IS LORAWAN?
LORAWAN • LoRa (Long Range): Radio modulation technique • LoRaWAN:
MAC protocol for Wide Area Networks (OSI Layer 2 and 3) sensors nodes gateways backend application backend LoRa ip ip
LORAWAN 3 * 10 10 km range 10 USD/node 10
years battery life
LONG RANGE 2km - 5km in urban setting 40km+ in
rural setting © ttnmapper.org , Open Street Map
INSANELY LONG RANGE (under extreme conditions) 201 km ground-to-ground by
