LoRa Technologies


LoRa spread spectrum modulation and LPWAN network protocol have combined forces to provide core long range capability with a cellular-like network

Fast Facts

  • LoRa uses sub-gigahertz radio frequency bands
  • Long range (7-10 KM)
  • Robust links for high capacity
  • Lower system cost
  • Extended battery lifetime
  • Geolocation (GPS-free, low-power tracking)
  • Secure
