With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the strategic value of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) in wireless communication has significantly increased. LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is the core technology of LPWAN, widely used in agriculture, industry, and consumer sectors due to its advantages of “low power consumption, wide … Read more
In the deployment of LoRaWAN networks, gateways with built-in NS (Network Server) were once a simplified architectural choice, but they are gradually losing their core value. As the demand for the Internet of Things (IoT) evolves, their limitations are becoming increasingly apparent. 1. The Three-Layer Architecture is the Standard LoRaWAN Architecture 1.1 Function Distribution of … Read more
Preface: When I entered Tims Coffee, I immediately looked for that chubby figure. I didn’t expect to see Mingfei stand up, looking much slimmer and more energetic. It seems that the environment in Xi’an suits him better than Beijing, which is conducive to his deep engagement with LoRa! Upon meeting again, two cups of Americano … Read more
Introduction Reading To achieve long-range, full-area IoT coverage in factories and to realize intelligent and refined management of equipment and the environment, Advantech has built a real-time intelligent monitoring network based on LoRaWAN, centered around a “device-edge-cloud” collaborative architecture, creating a complete closed loop from data collection to intelligent decision-making. In the Era of Industry … Read more
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power wide area network (LPWAN) protocol specifically designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). It was established by the LoRa Alliance in 2015 and became an officially recognized LPWAN standard by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2021. The following is a comprehensive analysis from the perspectives … Read more

1. Overview of LoRa and LoRaWAN LoRa (Long Range) and LoRaWAN are important representatives of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies, widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) field, such as smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, smart cities, and industrial automation. LoRa is a physical layer wireless modulation technology known for its long range, … Read more
When deploying a LoRaWAN network, the choice of antenna is one of the key factors affecting communication performance and device stability. Especially for outdoor LoRaWAN gateways, it is common to find that they predominantly use N-type connector antennas instead of other types of antenna interfaces. So, why has the N-type connector antenna become the preferred … Read more
