LoRa: How It Works

Every Internet of Things (IoT) solution starts with a sensor sending data, and every sensor needs a network to communicate. Learn how LoRa-enabled sensors and gateways help create a smarter, better IoT for a more sustainable future.
LoRa is the de facto wireless platform of IoT, created by Semtech. With hundreds of millions of deployed devices, solving some of the biggest challenges facing our planet, LoRa is making the world a better place to live, work and play.

This video is not about how it works but why it's good. Nothing more. The title is misleading.

This is not what I expected from a video with this title

Hello,
Can you name some popular products of Semtech that use LoRa technology ?

[@petrmarquardt1116]

Enjoy your total control for your safety 😀

Just curious can i use my laptop and phone to connect to LORA, i would need an external lora antenna or usb device right?

Hi there! We welcome you to ask the LoRa Developer community! Head on over to the forum: forum.lora-developers.semtech.com/

[@teddykishi]

So what it is ? Is it radio ? How does the signal propagate ? What is the range ? Which bandwidth ? Can you explain with more details ? Which material do we need ? Thanks

[@SemtechMediacenter]

HI Teddy, I suggest you visit www.semtech.com/LoRa to start learning about LoRa technology. It should answer many of your questions!

[@boydw1]

@@SemtechMediacenter I suggest you just put that information in your video, instead of this comically bad generic marketing spam.

Industrial imperialist technology. This communication is owned by chip manufacturers. Nobody else can make anything compatible from scratch. HDMI and DAB+ radio are different examples.

[@noalear]

@@manuell3505 I'm fine with it. Seems the price is reasonable to make super cheap stuff and at least we get the technology, which was nowhere to be found prior. If we need a free version of it then we can make it ourselves, but as it stands there's no point.

[@cryora]

According to wikipedia, it operates just below 1 GHz, so it is Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF) radio, and also has 2.4 GHz capability presumably making it compatible with WiFi. Range can be up to 30 miles line of sight. It does not bounce off the ionosphere because that applies to VHF frequencies (30 - 300 MHz). The signal propagates like any radio signal, but it is modulated using a spread spectrum technique.
Modules by Reyax can be controlled by an Arduino using "AT" commands, which are basically strings sent in serial following the AT format. But the specifics may depend on the module and company.
LoRa supposedly draws very little battery and can last for years, but in practice it would depend on the current draw of the whole system running off of a battery. If paired with an Arduino, which has a battery life of a few days, the Arduino becomes the limiting factor in battery life. One would have to design a minimal system to perform the desired task at low current draw in order to take advantage of the battery life.

[@Upadhyaylavish]

I am happy to using LoRa module for digital data transmission in Toyota but currently I am facing an issue regarding my receiver is not receiving data packets , while transmitter is perfectly sending data and all connections are right!!

[@Upadhyaylavish]

Would you please help me out to resolve the issue!!

Hi I’m a small business owner. I use a boat to analyses river water quality. I need a small devices to view, send and log live data from 4-20mA outputs to my computer and also the gps position of the moving device. Do you have such device ?
