LoRaWAN is an RF standard for IoT devices to connect to the internet.

Gateway

See Gateway for more information

Client devices

See Nodes for more information

Cloud

We connect to The Thingsnetwork

Other Information

Example Sensor projects

Alternative systems

  • Talk about an also LoRa based alternative to LoRaWAN, which should be able to work coexistingly with LoRaWAN: LoraLight
