What is LoRa?
LoRa (Long Range) is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology. It's designed for wireless battery-operated IoT devices over long distances. LoRa is commonly used for applications like smart agriculture, smart cities (e.g., parking sensors, street lighting), asset tracking, and industrial monitoring, where long range and low power consumption are crucial.
What other technologies are related to LoRa?
LoRa Competitor Technologies
Sigfox
Sigfox is another LPWAN technology that competes with LoRa for IoT applications requiring long-range, low-power communication.
Zigbee
Zigbee is a short-range, low-power wireless communication protocol often used in IoT and home automation, presenting an alternative to LoRa for certain applications.
NB-IoT
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) is a cellular-based LPWAN technology competing with LoRa in the IoT space, especially where cellular infrastructure is already available.
BLE
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a short-range wireless technology competing with LoRa in IoT applications requiring low power consumption, but shorter range.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology which can compete with LoRa in applications requiring low power but only short distance transmission.
5G
5G can address some IoT use cases that LoRa also targets, particularly those requiring higher bandwidth or lower latency, though 5G typically consumes more power.
NBIoT
Duplicate of NB-IoT. NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) is a cellular-based LPWAN technology competing with LoRa in the IoT space, especially where cellular infrastructure is already available.
LTE-M
LTE-M is another cellular-based LPWAN technology competing with LoRa, offering higher bandwidth than NB-IoT but still optimized for IoT applications.
