LoRa and LoRaWAN
Wireless Technology
 LoRa is one of unlicensed wireless technology having long range and low data rate
performance.

LoRa
What is LoRa?
 LoRa(Long Range) is the physical layer of the wireless technology that offers long
range, low power and secure data transmission for IoT applications.
 LoRa is based on chirp spread spectrum modulation, which has low power
characteristics like FSK modulation but can be used for long range
communications.
Why LoRa?
Long Distance (5 ~ 15 km)
Connect devices up to 2-5Km in Urban regions or 15Km in suburban area
Build up a star management network
Small data volume/rate (range from 0.3 kbps to 50 kbps)

Low Power Consumption


Protocol designed specifically for low power consumption extending
battery lifetime over years

High Security
Embedded end-to-end AES128 encryption

Low Cost
Reduces costs in :
Minimal infrastructure, low cost end node, Open software
LoRa & LoRaWAN
 Here is the network layer of LoRaWAN, including LoRa modulation and
LoRaWAN protocol.

Application Layer
MAC Layer

Network protocol based on LoRa

PHY Layer

Radio modulation technology


Comparison between LoRa & LoRaWAN

LoRa LoRaWAN

Definition Radio modulation technology Network (protocol) using LoRa

Network Layer only the physical layer physical layer + MAC layer protocol

Send the information to any Base


Used in P2P communications
Application Station(gateway) which already connected
between nodes
to a Cloud platform.

Architecture
LoRaWAN Architecture
LoRaWAN Architecture
 Different kinds of LoRaWAN end node are all send to LoRaWAN gateway for
integration.
 LoRaWAN gateway can upload to one network server via different media such as
3G, Ethernet, then the upper layer is the application server.
LoRaWAN Physical Layer
 LoRaWAN physical layer includes regional ISM band and LoRa Modulation(chirp
spread spectrum).
 Each ISM band is defined by regional regulation.
 Advantech LoRa Node and gateway can support EU868, US915 and AS923.
LoRaWAN ISM Band
 Frequencies have a longer range also comes with more restrictions that are often
country-specific.
 Please refer the “LoRaWAN-Regional-Parameters” document if the country is not
in this table. https://lora-alliance.org/sites/default/files/2020-06/rp_2-1.0.1.pdf
LoRaWAN US 902~928MHz Channel

WISE-6610 supports
8 + 1 STD uplink
channel for a group
LoRaWAN MAC Layer
 LoRaWAN medium access control(MAC) layer defines the LoRaWAN protocol and
packet transmission mechanism.
3 Classes for LoRaWAN End Node

 All LoRaWAN devices must implement Class A, whereas Class B and Class
C are extensions to the specification of Class A devices.
