LoRa technology is developing rapidly abroad. However, in China, the application of LoRa seems limited, primarily consisting of private applications with small coverage, existing as isolated islands. Nevertheless, there are occasionally metropolitan-level LoRa networks with extensive coverage. In this article, we will review the currently publicly available networks based on the LoRaWAN standard architecture.
1. Nansha District, Guangzhou (803 square kilometers)
Device Provider: Unknown
Operator: Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou
2. Guizhou Province
Device Provider: ZTE Kela
Operator: Guizhou Zhong’an Yunwang (jointly established by Guiran Group, ZTE Kela, Huaxin Company, Guizhou Agricultural Finance, Jinka Group, Jicheng Lizi, and Liaoning Sikai).
3. Beilin District, Xi’an
Device Provider: ThingParkTM China
Operator: Shaanxi Broadcasting
4. Mawei District, Fuzhou
Device Provider: Xiecheng Smart
Operator: Xiecheng Smart
5. Jiangsu Section of the Grand Canal
Device Provider: August Technology (AUGTEK)
Operator: Unknown
This is likely the earliest publicly established LoRaWAN network in China. However, as a founding member of the LoRa Alliance, August Technology has faded from the market in the past two years, and it is uncertain whether the LoRa network in this area still exists.
6. Within the 6th Ring Road of Beijing
Device Provider: Unknown
Operator: Unknown
According to related reports, there are still 16 private/experimental LoRaWAN networks in China. By the end of 2017, the LoRa China Alliance (CLAA) will add 10 more city-level network covers. Clearly, compared to the NB-IoT networks dominated by traditional telecom operators, the geographic coverage of LoRaWAN networks is still very small. What other LoRaWAN networks do you know of?
