In December 2021, a piece of news hit the circle of friends in the Internet of Things field. LoRaWAN® officially became the international standard for ITU low-power wide-area networks and has been supported by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Donna Moore, CEO and Chairman of the LoRa Alliance (LoRa Alliance), said: From the beginning, LoRaWAN was developed as an open standard and has been widely accepted by the low power wide area network community. The rapid adoption of this standard by IoT LPWAN networks around the world certainly demonstrates the universality of this standard.
Bilel Jamoussi, head of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau study group, said: The LoRa Alliance®, a global alliance of companies supporting the adoption of the open LoRaWAN® standard in low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) for the Internet of Things, recently announced that the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICT) ——The International Telecommunication Union ITU officially approved LoRaWAN as a communication standard for low-power wide-area networks.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the ITU. What is the identity of this organization and what role does it play here?
ITU (International Telecommunication Union, ITU), a subsidiary of the United Nations, is the largest and most influential telecommunication organization in the world. ITU is mainly responsible for matters related to information and communication technology, and has played an important role in coordinating and formulating international technical standards.
According to the ITU, the LoRaWAN standard has been deployed by more than 150 mobile network operators in the world, providing connections to more than 170 countries, and the scale is still expanding.
So, what exactly is LoRaWAN technology and what are its advantages?
Advantages of LoRaWAN:
To put it simply, LoRaWAN is a derivative of LoRa technology. It gives full play to the radio frequency characteristics of LoRa, and adds features such as anti-collision, data encryption, rate adaptation, and multi-path concurrent reception of gateways. It is a set of standardized communication protocols and system structure. With the characteristics of low power consumption, wide coverage, ultra-low cost, and large network capacity, LoRaWAN is a star topology, which has great advantages in maintaining low power consumption and increasing communication range.
One of the biggest advantages of LoRaWAN is that it can operate in unlicensed spectrum, which is very different from mobile phones, and the fees and costs and private network deployments are much cheaper. So, with LoRaWAN, a private network can be established.

outdoor gateway
Today I will bring you an outdoor gateway with the standard LoRaWAN protocol, which is different from the indoor transmission design of other gateways on the market. The transmission distance of the indoor transmission gateway can usually only reach about 200 meters, which meets the needs of indoor transmission. The transmission distance of this outdoor transmission gateway can reach 3 kilometers, and the transmission distance is more than 10 times that of other indoor gateways. Then there are other features Woolen cloth!
