Traditional meter reading methods generally involve manual readings, where the meter reader needs to enter households, posing difficulties in access. Manual readings also suffer from low efficiency, high error rates, and relatively high costs. Currently, wireless meter reading technology is used in the country, but due to technical limitations, most still rely on handheld devices … Read more
Using LoRaWAN for firmware over-the-air upgrades (FOTA) is quite challenging. Currently, the LoRa Alliance has not mentioned much on this topic, although it can be implemented in Class B and Class C devices. The reasons why firmware over-the-air upgrades using LoRaWAN are difficult include: 1. The communication of the base station cannot occur simultaneously. This … Read more
Contact WeChat: x274529 The Relationship Between LPWAN and LoRaWAN LPWAN, or Low Power Wide Area Network, refers to a type of wireless network that emphasizes low power consumption and long range, typically used for networking battery-powered sensor nodes. Due to its low power and low-speed characteristics, this network is distinctly different from other wireless networks … Read more
LoRa or Long Range is a proprietary, low-power, and long-range wireless technology that uses unlicensed radio spectrum—similar to how Wi-Fi uses the unlicensed 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. The exact frequency used by LoRa depends on the physical location of the deployment. For instance, LoRa operates in the 915 MHz band in North America … Read more
In addition to smart home networking and office space scenarios, many IoT device connections will occur in remote environments. In these new environments, limitations in M2M transmission coverage will lead to accessibility issues and a need for power connections. To address this, widely adopted LPWA solutions—LoRaWAN and 3GPP (LTE Cat M1 and Cat NB1) open … Read more
