LoRaWAN stands for “Long Range Wide Area Network.” It is a communication protocol based on the LoRa technology. The LoRaWAN network architecture is deployed in a star topology, with its main elements being (1) battery-powered sensor devices (end … Read more
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
With the continuous development of technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become an important application field in various industries. In the construction of smart cities, the use of smart water meters is becoming increasingly common. The LoRaWAN smart water meter solution is gradually receiving widespread attention and application. LoRaWAN is a low-power wireless communication … Read more
LoRaWAN network architecture diagram End Nodes In the above LoRaWAN network architecture diagram, the end nodes are on the far left, asynchronously broadcasting data packets to the network. Following the Aloha network specification, it ensures that terminal devices can remain in idle mode most of the time, consuming less than 1uA. This method ensures that … Read more
