About LoRaWAN
- Defining LoRaWAN
Long Range Wide Area Network, abbreviated LoRaWAN®, is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol specification. LoRaWAN is designed to wirelessly connect devices, or “things”, to the Internet – making LoRaWAN an important aspect of the Internet of Things (IoT).
LoRaWAN is the technology on which Everynet’s national networks are built. Operating in 10 countries around the world, our networks are open, highly resilient and entirely server agnostic.
Key LoRaWAN Characteristics
LoRaWAN is an unlicensed, non-proprietary, open IoT standard delivering a range of benefits.
Low-cost chipsets and networks
Long range connectivity
Long battery life – up to 10 years autonomy
Bi-directional communication
Flexible – offering mobility and LoRa P2P
Secure – E2E data encryption, high resistance to jammers, mutual authentication
Open standard – available at all levels of the LPWA ecosystem
Immunity to interference in the unlicensed band
Standardized to ensure network-to-device interoperability
Rapid implementation and scaling
