LoRa is a wireless modulation technique that utilizes Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) technology, allowing for long-range, low-power communication. It is ideal for transmitting small data payloads over significant distances, especially in low-power applications like sensors. Operating in sub-gigahertz and 2.4 GHz ISM bands, LoRa offers extended range compared to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. LoRaWAN, built on top of LoRa, it’s a MAC layer protocol managed by the LoRa Alliance, known for its deep indoor coverage, geolocation capabilities, and ability to support millions of devices in public or private deployments.

LoRaWAN’s versatility enables its use in various sectors, such as vaccine monitoring, animal conservation, and smart farming. It is also a cost-effective and secure solution for wide-scale IoT applications, certified by the LoRa Alliance, which ensures device interoperability and reliability.
