LoRa sensor technology: Long range connectivity for IoT

What is LoRa technology?

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) refers to a proprietary radio technology that enables data packets to be transmitted in the license-free ISM 868 MHz frequency range. Due to the particularly low free-space path loss of this technology, a transmission range of several kilometers can be achieved. LoRa sensor technology is therefore ideal for use in the field of IoT (Internet of Things), since only small, non-time-critical data packets are transmitted.

The following scenario provides an example:

Data transmission via LoRa takes place as uplink communication at a speed of up to 50 kbit/s and is very energy-efficient despite the long range.

The LoRa Developer Kits from Thomas-Krenn each contain 2 LoRa ESP32 modules with an OLED display and WiFi, Bluetooth and Micro USB interfaces as well as suitable USB connection cables. In addition, you will receive the versatile temperature sensor BME 280 in the package, which can be used flexibly for your desired application.

 

Why LoRa?
  • High range
  • Low energy consumption
  • Individual optimization
Innovative and flexible

There are no limits to the possible applications of LoRa sensor technology.


Here are some examples:

  • Measuring distances
  • IR sensor technology
  • Relay circuits and outlet control
  • Monitoring door and window closure
  • Reading meters
  • Counting visitors
  • Sensing vibrations
  • Measuring humidity
