LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is an open communication standard for the Internet of Things (IoT), designed to connect a large number of devices that transmit small amounts of data and must operate long-term with minimal power consumption. These are typically sensors and metering devices that can run on battery power for 5–10 years without replacement.
The technology offers long-range wireless communication - from several kilometers in urban environments to tens of kilometers in open areas. Data is transmitted via network gateways (LoRaWAN gateway) to the LoRaWAN Network Server, e.g. The Things Network, ChipStack, LORIOT, where device verification, communication management, message decryption and data forwarding to the Network Server/Application Cloud (e.g. AWS, Microsft Azure) take place, ensuring secure data handling.
Another option is a gateway (LoRaWAN gateway) with an integrated Network Server, which forwards data via communication protocols such as MODBUS, BACnet, or MQTT directly to a BMS (Building Management System), for example for building technology control within a centralized system.
Our solution includes a proprietary LoRaWAN gateway, ensuring reliable data collection from devices and secure transmission to higher-level systems. LoRaWAN is widely used in smart buildings, smart cities, industry, energy, and agriculture, where reliability, long device lifetime, and low operating costs are essential.
