LoRaWAN (IoT transmission).

LoRa(Long Range) is one of the efficient wireless communication systems with a sizable range and reduced power consumption that can transmit small amounts of data over long distances. These two key features make it an attractive solution for use in IoT devices.

LoRaWAN - what is it?

LoRaWAN(Long Range Wide Area Network) is a protocol that is based on the modulation of the LoRa system developed by Semtech Corporation (owner of 5G private network manufacturer Sierra Wireless ). It is a software layer that determines how devices use the equipment, that is, when they transmit data and in what format.

LoRaWAN Features

The most important features of LoRaWAN are long range in communication and relatively low power consumption. These properties make LoRaWAN systems ideal solutions for industrial IoT applications. In addition, they make it possible to overcome many of the new challenges that exist in rural and urban areas, such as those related to pollution, global warming and natural disasters.

Application of LoRaWAN systems

Because of its simplicity, LoRaWAN is widely used in transportation, agriculture and manufacturing. It is the best solution for industrial applications that transmit small amounts of data at low speeds. Data can be transmitted over a much longer distance than with other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This makes devices using LoRaWAN ideal for transmitting sensor data, in low-power modes.

LoRaWAN technology and the systems that use it are suitable for applications that require performance monitoring, using a variety of specialized sensors. Applications cover a wide spectrum including healthcare, smart cities, transportation and logistics. Stovaris offers solutions dedicated to specific applications where LoRaWAN technology works best. Especially if they require the placement of sensors in remote rooms, halls or facilities.

LoRaWAN starter kits

LoRaWAN (LPWAN) technologies are quite complex and can be challenging for customers who have never done a deployment of this type of solution. When installing, you not only need to set up a secure and reliable wireless network connection of the end device's routers and industrial gateways, but also connect them to the sensors and make the whole thing available as part of our network. For a comprehensive solution, you also need to connect the solution via IT networks to your IoT platform locally or in the cloud.

Stovaris, aiming to simplify the construction of an end-to-end IoT, IoMT and IIoT solution in a LoRaWAN network, offers special LoRaWAN Box starter kits under the Vispena brand. As part of our kits, we offer the following products:

• LoRaWAN OPEN Box
• LoRaWAN POWER Box
• LoRaWAN WATER Box
• LoRaWAN AIR Box
• LoRaWAN PARK Box
• LoRaWAN GPS Box

With these starter kits, engineers/implementers, can quickly familiarize themselves with the various components of the kit and the steps in the implementation process, while having the confidence that the installation can be completed quickly. As a result, a non-expert can quickly create a complete working LoRaWAN solution for the Internet of Things.

For more demanding customers, Stovaris offers assistance in the preparation of a turnkey solution project. Our specialists are at your disposal and will be happy to help you with the initial evaluation of the project. For our partners who are already designing networks with sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT/IIoT) standard, we offer the use of the LoRaWAN protocol, which allows access to unlicensed radio frequencies, with a range of up to 15 kilometers, low energy consumption using batteries, transmission security and scalability, and reliable connectivity.
