Long Range Internet of Things (LoRa)

As mentioned in previous posts, IoT is an uprising concept that will change the world in which we live allowing a more efficient communication between devices. One of the technologies that is making a name for itself among other competitors in the low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) is LoRa. LoRa is the physical layer or the wireless modulation used to create the long-range communication link....

Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks – a huge impulse for IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept which has been with us now for many years and it is slowly gaining terrain during the last few years, but what will for sure be a huge impulse for IoT are the networks classified as Low Power Wide Area networks (LPWA). Why is this so? Mainly because IoT applications and devices, to be economically viable need to have low costs and long battery lives, and...
