The internet of things, or IoT, is a system consisting of devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people enabled to connect to the internet and are able to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

LoRaWAN stands for Long Range Wide Area Network. It’s a standard for wireless communication that allows IoT devices to communicate over large distances with minimal battery usage.

LoRaWAN is a wireless communication standard. You could put it in the same category of Bluetooth, GSM, 3G, LTE,… but it’s still different. It has the range of your mobile phone with the flexibility of Bluetooth or WiFi and the battery life of your watch for the cost of a beer.The main characteristics of LoRaWAN are: Long range (>5 km urban, >10 km suburban, >80 km VLOS) Long battery life (>10 years) Low cost (<$5/module) Low data rate (0.3 bps – 50 kbps, typically ~10 kB/day) Secure Operates in unlicensed spectrum Localisation support Bidirectional
