LoRaWAN versus other communication technologies

LoRaWAN offers several advantages over other communication technologies, making it a preferred choice for certain IoT applications. Here are some reasons why LoRaWAN might be chosen over other alternatives:

  • Long range: LoRaWAN provides exceptional long-range communication capabilities, enabling devices to communicate over several kilometers in open areas. This is particularly useful for applications that require connectivity over large distances, such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, and asset tracking.
  • Low power consumption: Devices using LoRaWAN can operate on very low power, extending battery life for years. This is crucial for remote or hard-to-reach locations where changing or recharging batteries is impractical or costly.
  • Deep indoor penetration: LoRaWAN can penetrate buildings and other obstacles effectively, ensuring connectivity even in challenging environments. This makes it suitable for applications...
