Components of a LoRaWAN IoT application

LoRaWAN is a wireless communication protocol and network architecture designed to enable long-range, low-power communication between IoT devices. It’s specifically tailored to connect devices that require extended battery life, reliable long-distance communication, and efficient use of the wireless spectrum. LoRaWAN is one of the key technologies in the realm of LPWANs. Figure 6.1 illustrates the whole architecture of the LoRaWAN solution, including the end nodes, gateway, network server, and application server.

Figure 6.1 – The components of a LoRaWAN network

The LoRaWAN architecture consists of four main components:

  • End nodes/devices: These are the IoT devices that gather data from sensors or perform specific tasks. They communicate with gateways using the LoRa modulation technique, sending data packets at low data rates.
  • Gateways: Gateways serve as intermediate points that receive data...
