Which IoT network is suitable for your data transmissions?
LoRa: Your fast, long-range and cost-efficient network for industrial IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) has a firm place in today's industry and is revolutionizing machine parks worldwide through networking and data exchange. Fast, seamless and, above all, secure data transmission is needed to uncover potential and drive optimization. This is where LoRa and LoRaWAN network technology plays a decisive role.
With the cost-efficient solution of LoRa and LoRaWAN, you can reliably network even distant and hard-to-reach devices. With its long range, high transmission rate and manageable costs, a LoRa network forms the perfect basis for your industrial IoT solution and ensures that your company can keep pace with technological progress.
What are LoRa, LoRaWAN and LoRaWAN gateways?
Simply put, LoRa is a radio technology. LoRaWAN is an open, cloud-based protocol that enables communication between devices via LoRa. A gateway is the intermediary between your machines and the terminal on which you manage the data.
In simplified terms, LoRaWAN is a protocol that logs the activities of your machines in detail. This data is then sent to the gateway via LoRa. You can then retrieve this data via your PC, for example, and evaluate it. All IoT data is transmitted completely wirelessly.
Who is LoRaWan suitable for?
Because LoRaWAN does not require cables and has a long range, this type of data transmission is especially suitable for devices that are difficult to access and remote. The technology copes well with rough conditions, such as dust, wind and weather. Everything – from LoRaWAN weather stations to water level measurements – is possible.
Moreover, a LoRaWAN network is ideal for devices that need to monitor status changes in real time and sound an alarm in case of deviations. For example, you could monitor the "smoothness" of an engine's operation: As soon as something changes, the system can sound an alarm and you can take action long before any damage occurs.
