LoRaWAN™ for Smart Device Implementation
What are LoRa® and LoRaWAN®?
LoRa is a Radio Frequency (RF) modulation technology for low-power, wireless LAN networks in the category of LPWA network (LPWANs) technologies. LoRaWAN is a network (protocol) using LoRa.
LoRa provides for long-range communications: up to three miles (five kilometers) in urban areas, and up to 10 miles (15 kilometers) or more in rural areas (line of sight).
A key characteristic of the LoRa-based solutions is ultra-low power requirements, which allows for the creation of battery-operated devices that can last for up to 10 years.
Deployed in a star topology, a network based on the open LoRaWAN protocol is perfect for applications that require long-range or deep in-building communication among a large number of devices that have low power requirements and that collect small amounts of data.
LoRaWAN™ - a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) has specifications that help to achieve the key objectives of the Internet of Things (IoT) like:
-
Secure communication: LoRaWAN security design adheres to state-of-the-art principles: use of standard, well-vetted algorithms, and end-to-end security ensuring mutual authentication, integrity protection, and confidentiality.
-
Flexibility & Scalability: Wireless, easy to set up, and able to support thousands of connected end devices and millions of messages transmitted. Its fast deployment allows for large-scale projects to come to live quicker and cheaper.
-
Inter-operatibility: LoRaWAN™ certified devices and networks are fully interoperable. Allows to choose different hardware and network providers or change options at any time, according to availability and needs.
-
Bidirectional communication: Fully bidirectional communication enables a wide variety of use cases requiring uplinks and downlinks. LoRaWAN devices can deliver status messages even to remote locations.
-
long-range connectivity
-
Open Source Standards
-
Quick Deployment
-
Low cost: Simple network structure, long-range, fewer gateways and overall inexpensive installation requirements create, to our knowledge, the most affordable streetlight control available.
-
Components (gateways, sensors/end nodes, cloud platforms, and applications) typically make an end-to-end LoRaWAN solution.
-
Sensors capture data about the condition of different assets.
-
Gateways act as the bridge between sensors and the cloud, transmitting data and ensuring real-time processing.
-
All the data from sensors are stored and analyzed in the cloud platform. It also provides the infrastructure, necessary to manage and scale IoT deployment.
-
Custom applications as a part of the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions allow you to visualize data, create alerts, and take action on the insights you receive.
ClodPi Labs have proven in-house capability of developing and implementing custom solutions using these components that help different use cases.
ClodPi Labs has successfully launched LoRaWAN compatible Gateways and is the only Indian Company approved by Helium to manufacture Helium compatible Hotspots.
To support the implementation, monitoring, and management of smart devices, we can integrate with most public LoRaWAN™ network operators or can deploy private LoRaWAN™ compatible networks highly recommended for Smart Use Case like Residential / Commercial buildings, Colonies, Factory, Street, Farm, University, etc.
