LoRaWAN overview
Terabee provides an IoT end-device which uses the standardized wireless LoRa protocol to
transmit data over the LoRaWAN network. Please note that for successful data
transmission, the user is responsible for Terabee device integration with a LoRaWAN
network. This includes a LoRa gateway; registration of the Terabee device on a LoRa
network server; and an application server of users choice.
Figure 2 illustrates the Terabee device fit in the LoRaWAN typology, and required
integration components as well as process.
During the production step, Terabee devices are assigned several unique identifiers, which
are used to securely activate the device and allow safe (encrypted) data transmission over
a private or public LoRa network. LoRaWAN gateways receive encrypted data packets from
the end-devices within reception range, and transmits the data messages to the LoRaWAN
network server via Ethernet or wireless connection.
The LoRa Network Server establishes secure connections from the Terabee end-device to
the user Application, and ensures the authenticity of each device on the network as well as
integrity of each message transmitted (without accessing the application data).
The Application server is responsible for securely receiving, managing and decrypting data
packet information transmitted from the Terabee end-device. Decrypted messages can
then be sent for display on the user dashboards or data portals (web-application).
