What is LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide-area networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery-operated 'things' to the internet in regional, national, or global networks. It's primarily used for IoT (Internet of Things) applications where long range, low bandwidth, and low power consumption are required, such as smart agriculture, smart cities, and asset tracking.
What other technologies are related to LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN Competitor Technologies
NB-IoT
NB-IoT is a competing LPWAN technology focusing on cellular infrastructure, providing similar connectivity for IoT devices but using licensed spectrum.
Sigfox
Sigfox is another competing LPWAN technology, offering similar low-power, long-range connectivity for IoT devices, but with its own proprietary network infrastructure.
XBEE
No summary available
XBee offers short to medium range wireless communication modules that can be used as an alternative to LoRaWAN in certain applications, especially where mesh networking or higher data rates are needed over shorter distances.
Zigbee
Zigbee is a short-range, low-power wireless technology often used for home automation and industrial applications, serving as an alternative to LoRaWAN for localized IoT networks.
LTE-M
LTE-M is a competing LPWAN technology based on the cellular network, providing similar IoT connectivity as LoRaWAN with potentially higher data rates and mobility support.
WIFI MESH
No summary available
WiFi Mesh is a competing technology when considering a local or wide scale sensor deployments. The range and lower power use of LoRaWAN often makes it more ideal than a local WiFi mesh.
BLE Mesh
BLE Mesh competes with LoRaWAN in specific short-range, low-power mesh networking applications, although its range is significantly shorter.
BLE
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is a short-range wireless technology which competes for use cases like asset tracking and short distance sensor networks.
