LoRaWAN water meters and NB-IoT smart water meters are currently two common IoT water meter technologies in the market. They have some differences in terms of cost-effectiveness and advantages, which need to be considered based on actual needs and application scenarios. First, let’s understand LoRaWAN water meters. LoRaWAN is a low-power wide-area network communication protocol … Read more
↑ Click on the above“IoT Time and Space” to follow us 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 … Read more
The network structure of LoRaWAN application terminals (hereinafter referred to as SN) and gateways (hereinafter referred to as GW) is a star topology, where communication between SN and GW is point-to-point. Generally, a GW has 8 uplink channels and 1 downlink channel, and this capability of the GW determines that it can only send downlink … Read more
The ecosystem of LoRaWAN is quite good, with open-source or free resources available for nodes, gateways, and servers. Among them, the free server www.thethingsnetwork.org is very popular, with nearly ten thousand gateways deployed worldwide. Today, we will discuss how to use this server. You need to register an account at https://www.thethingsnetwork.org (hereinafter referred to as … Read more

1NovemberToday, I will analyze the relevant information regarding LoRaWAN roaming. This will be a brief introduction, and for specific technical details, please refer to the LoRaWAN protocol. LoRaWAN roaming is divided into two types: Passive Roaming and Hand-over Roaming. The LoRaWAN server consists of two parts: the Network Server (abbreviated as NS) and the Join … Read more
In a LoRaWAN network, there are many parameters such as node type, transmission rate, ADR, channel mask, etc. Today, we will discuss how to modify these parameters to suit your needs. 1. Parameter Definition The parameters related to LoRaWAN are defined in a structure within the SDK, which allows us to understand which parameters can … Read more

Today, let’s talk about a topic with some “flavor”—using Java for wastewater monitoring. That’s right, the stuff you never care about when you flush the toilet now needs to be monitored with code! … Read more
LoRaWAN is a low-power wide-area network technology suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, offering advantages such as long-range transmission, low power consumption, and low cost. The LoRaWAN remote management solution for water meters utilizes LoRaWAN technology for remote monitoring and management of water meters, improving the efficiency and accuracy of data collection while reducing … Read more
Recently, a paper titled “Do LoRa Low-Power Wide-Area Networks Scale?” published by Martin Bor and Utz Roedig from Lancaster University, UK, pointed out that the scalability of LoRaWAN is currently not very good based on the deployments and tests conducted. According to the tests in the paper, a single LoRaWAN gateway can stably support 120 … Read more
