What is LoRa?
LoRa technology was developed by a company called Semtech and it is a new
wireless protocol designed specifically for long-range, low-power
communications. LoRa stands for Long Range Radio and is mainly targeted for
M2M and IoT networks. This technology will enable public or multi-tenant
networks to connect a number of applications running on the same network.
LoRa Alliance was formed to standardize LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area
Networks) for IoT and is a non-profit association which features membership
from a number of key market shareholders such as CISCO, actility, MicroChip,
IBM, STMicro, SEMTECH, Orange mobile and many more. This alliance is
key to providing interoperability among multiple nationwide networks.
Each LoRa gateway has the ability to handle up to millions of nodes. The
signals can span a significant distance, which means that there is less
infrastructure required, making constructing a network much cheaper and faster
to implement.
LoRa also features an adaptive data rate algorithm to help maximize the nodes
life and network capacity. The LoRa protocol includes a number of different
layers including encryption at the network, application and device level for
secure communications.
