Key features of LoRa technology
Long distance
The LoRa technology connects devices up to 50km apart. Rural areas, dense urban areas or lower areas such as basements are no problem at all.
Low power & cheap
Requires minimal energy, with extended battery life up to 10 years, minimizing battery replacement costs. Less investments will therefore have to be made in infrastructure and the operational costs will also be lower.
Safety
Lora technology features end-to-end AES128 encryption, mutual authentication, integrity protection and confidentiality. So it is a very secure technology.
Standard
It provides device interoperability and global availability of LoRaWAN networks. This means that there is the possibility to have different autonomous systems or devices communicate and work together. This then ensures rapid deployment of IoT applications anywhere in the world.
Geolocation
Enables GPS-free tracking applications and offers unique low power benefits unaffected by other technologies.
Mobile
Communication with moving devices can be maintained without straining energy consumption.
High capacity
The system is capable of supporting millions of messages per base station. Furthermore, it also meets the needs of public network operators serving large markets.
