What is LoRaWAN and how does it work?
Long Range Wide Area Network is a protocol developed by the LoRa Alliance.
The peculiarity of this new protocol is its efficiency. In fact, LoRaWAN® has low battery consumption, a high communication radius (up to 15km in the open field), and protected data transmission (thanks to AES-128 encryption).
The communication radius is about 2 km in areas with a high population density, which extends to 15 km in the open field. This is also influenced by the mutual position between the device and the gateway; if the gateway is installed in an elevated position, the radius will be greater than a gateway installed at street level.
LoRaWAN is part of a category of technologies called LPWAN, which means Low Power Wide Area Network. This technology was developed to allow battery-powered sensors to send and receive messages, using the least amount of energy possible to save battery power.
- A LoRa gateway can effectively communicate and exchange data with multiple endpoint nodes.
- Interference is reduced to negligible disturbances by the chirp spread spectrum modulation.
- LoRaWAN technology is very secure with advanced encryption levels.
- LoRa-based end devices have a very long battery life.
- The frequencies on which the data is transferred are licensed free of charge, which considerably reduces operating costs.
- LoRa technology has a very long data transmission range, usually several kilometers.
- The energy consumption in data communication is very low and conservative.
- The LoRaWAN network design does not support the transmission of large data loads.
- The data transmission speed of the LoRaWAN communication network is low.
- Data transmission channels in unlicensed frequency bands can be subject to interference.
The LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) architecture is divided into three main levels:
Node (End Node): This is the level of IoT devices that send data to the network. They can be battery-powered and collect data from sensors or other sources.
Gateway: These devices act as a bridge between IoT nodes and the LoRaWAN network. They receive signals from the nodes and forward them to the network through a network connection. They are strategically positioned to cover large geographic areas.
Network Server: This level handles network logic and data processing. It receives data from gateways, decodes it, and routes it to the corresponding cloud applications. It also manages security, device authentication, and traffic scheduling.
In addition, there is an Application Server that receives, processes, and interprets data from IoT devices to provide specific services and useful information to end users.
