Key Features of LoRa Technology:

• Long Range : A single base station using LoRa Technology enables deep penetration capability for dense urban environments and indoor coverage, while also providing the ability to connect to sensors more than 15-30 miles away in rural areas.
• Low Power : The LoRaWAN protocol was developed specifically for low power and enables unprecedented battery lifetime of up to 20 years depending on the application.
• Geolocation : Enables tracking applications without GPS or additional power consumption.
• Low Cost : LoRa Technology reduces up front infrastructure investments and operating costs, as well as end-node sensor costs.
• Open Standard : The LoRaWAN protocol ensures interoperability among applications, IoT solution providers and telecom operators to speed adoption and deployment.
