lora networking method

As a common long-distance wireless communication technology, LoRa is very popular because of its simple installation, low cost, and long communication distance. There are many networking methods for LoRa. Today we will talk about: “lora networking method”.

Basic introduction to LoRa

	LoRa
Networking method	Based on LoRa gateway
Network deployment method	Node gateway (the gateway deployment location has higher requirements and many factors need to be considered
Transmission distance	Long distance (up to more than ten kilometers, 1~2 kilometers in the city, up to 20km in the suburbs)
Single network access node capacity	About 60,000, the actual number is affected by the number of gateway channels, node packet sending frequency, data packet size, etc.Generally, there are 500 to 5,000 pieces.
Battery life	Theoretically about 10 years/AA battery
cost	Module about 5$
bande de fréquence	Unlicense frequency band, Sub-GHZ (433, 868, 915 MHz, etc.)
transfer speed	0.3~50kbps
Network delay	TBD
Suitable fields	Outdoor scene, LPWAN, Large area sensor applications Can use private network to cover places where cellular network cannot cover

Lora technology is used in many scenarios, such as: tunnel communication, power grid monitoring, data collection of electricity meters, water meters and other meters, smart agriculture, smart water conservancy, smart transportation, smart communities, environmental monitoring, industrial automation detection, aquaculture, etc. There are several working modes as follows.
