Understanding LoRaWAN and its IoT applications
LoRaWAN is a wireless communication protocol and network architecture specifically designed for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs), enabling long-range communication between devices in the context of the IoT. LoRaWAN technology is optimized for applications that require low data rates, long battery life, and long communication ranges, making it well-suited for various IoT use cases.
Usage in IoT
LoRaWAN has been widely adopted in various IoT applications due to its unique features. Some common use cases include the following:
- Smart agriculture: LoRaWAN can be used for soil moisture monitoring, crop health monitoring, livestock tracking, and precision farming, allowing farmers to optimize their operations and increase yield
- Smart cities: LoRaWAN can enable smart street lighting, waste management, parking management, and environmental monitoring, helping cities become more efficient and sustainable
- Industrial monitoring...
