LORAWAN:
The LoRaWAN® specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly
connect battery operated ‘things’ to the internet in regional, national or global networks, and targets key
Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility
and localization services.
LoRaWAN® network architecture is deployed in a star-of-stars topology in which gateways relay messages
between end-devices and a central network server.
The wireless communication takes advantage of the Long Range characteristics of the LoRa physical layer,
allowing a single-hop link between the end-device and one or many gateways. All modes are capable of bi-
directional communication, and there is support for multicast addressing groups to make efficient use of
spectrum during tasks such as Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) upgrades or other mass distribution
messages.
The converters support all the standard datarates and they work both on public and private networks.
