LoRa is a wireless modulation technique derived from Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) technology. It encodes information on radio waves using chirp pulses - similar to the way dolphins and bats
Every terminal conforming to the LoRaWAN protocol can directly communicate with the gateway conforming to the LoRaWAN, thereby achieving interconnection and intercommunication.
LoRa nodes communicate with gateways over the air using LoRa modulation. They transmit data packets using specific frequency, spreading factor configurations, and can also listen
LoRaWAN enables long-distance communication between low-power devices and strategically placed base stations. These base stations act as the bridge, receiving data from end-devices and
LoRa Basics Station (Station) is a LoRaWAN gateway software implementation which provides this core functionality in terms of handling the packet flow, managing spectrum access and LNS backhaul
For communication with the end devices or LoRaWAN sensors, the gateway uses the LoRaWAN protocol. The connection from the gateway (radio base stations) to the network server
A typical network using LoRa® technology consists of the following essential parts: end devices (usually sensors), a base station or gateway, a network server and an operations support
LoRaWAN means “LoRa Wide Area Network”, which is the communication protocol built on top of LoRa. LoRa is the physical layer — it handles radio signal transmission. LoRaWAN is the
