LoRa technology: Differences from LoRaWAN
LoRa technology: Differences from LoRaWAN LoRa technology and LoRaWAN are two common communication technologies in the field of Internet of Things, and they have certain differences in function and application. 1. Different types of technology LoRa (Long Range) is a long-distance wireless transmission technology based on spread spectrum technology, which belongs to the physical layer transmission technology. It is characterized by long distance, low power consumption, but relatively low speed. LoRa technology was first adopted and promoted by Semtech in the United States and is suitable for applications requiring long-distance communication and low power consumption. LoRaWAN is a set of protocol standards based on the MAC layer based on LoRa physical layer transmission technology, and is a network technology. The LoRaWAN protocol is optimized for low-power, battery-powered sensors and includes different levels of end nodes to optimize the balance between latency and battery life. It i...
