LoRaWAN is a long-range, low-power wireless communication technology primarily developed for regional networks. It supports extensive coverage of numerous IoT terminal nodes across wide geographic areas, making it ideal for smart city infrastructure, environmental monitoring, agriculture and asset tracking.
1) long-range, low-power wireless
2) deployment on unlicensed frequency bands. like wireless frequency bands, 433MHz\480MHz\495MHz\868MHz\915MHz.
3) low power consumption
4) handle data from large numbers of devices simultaneously
Compare other wireless technologies, as an emerging technology, LoRaWAN still faces challenges on long-term operation, including relatively high latency and limited bandwidth, as result to this don’t frequently handle data process on the single scenario application. such as Monitoring the location and status of equipment, waste collection, parking sensors,and local environmental monitoring in ranges from air quality, water levels, and pollution.
