LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN, or Long Range Wide Area Network, is a wireless communication protocol designed for IoT devices that need to transmit small amounts of data over very long distances while consuming minimal power. It operates in unlicensed sub-GHz radio bands and can achieve ranges of several kilometers in open environments, making it suitable for applications like smart meters, agricultural sensors, asset tracking, and environmental monitoring. LoRaWAN devices are typically battery-powered and designed to last years without replacement, prioritizing low power consumption and long range over speed, as data rates are intentionally very low.
