LoRaWAN 101: A Deep Dive into Long-Range Wide Area Networks
Manage episode 447454890 series 3611562
This episode explores the fascinating world of LoRaWAN, a revolutionary technology designed for long-range, low-power communication in the Internet of Things (IoT).
We will cover key concepts such as:
●Spreading factors: Learn how these parameters balance data rate and range for optimal performance.
●Modulation types: Discover the unique Chirp Spread Spectrum technology used in LoRa, its advantages, and how data is encoded.
●Adaptive data rate: This dynamic mechanism optimises battery life and link quality by adjusting data rates based on signal strength.
●Security: We'll explore LoRaWAN's robust security measures, including the use of AES encryption and the Over-the-Air Activation (OTAA) process.
●Device classes: We'll distinguish between Class A, B, and C devices, understanding their characteristics and applications.
●Frequency bands and regulations: Gain insights into the global regulatory landscape for LoRaWAN, including duty cycle limitations.
●Gateways: Learn about the role of gateways in the LoRaWAN ecosystem and how they facilitate communication between devices and the network.
●Packet forwarders: Understand how the Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder bridges the gap between the gateway hardware and the network serve
