M2M, IOT and Smart City solution

on LoRa & LoRaWAN

Capability and future demand in India

By Utpal Sinha – B.E(CSE), CCNA

Long range: 15 - 20 km Millions of nodes.

Long battery life: in excess of ten

years

Bi-directional data transmission from millions of

sensors deployed in rural and

remote locations

LoRaLoRa is a low data rate wireless technology.

key features

A wide area network having bidirectional capability can be design and deploy using LoRa technology.

A LoRaWAN consists of following elements

LoRa Network: LoRaWAN

.End Points

LoRa Gateway

Server

Remote Computer

Typically in a star-of-stars topology with gateways forming a transparent bridge.

An example of Smart metering solution for Water supply in India's populated city :

LoRa network architecture

bi-directional end-devices: 

Class A

bi-directional end-devices with scheduled receive

slots: 

Class B

bi-directional end-devices with maximal receive

slots: 

Class C

LoRaWAN endpoint classesAccordingly the LoRaWAN supports three classes of endpoints:

1.• Unique Network key (EUI64) and ensure security

on network level

2. • Unique Application key (EUI64) ensure end to end

security on application level

3.• Device specific key (EUI128)

LoRa network security

Three layers of encryption have been employed to LoRaWAN communication

Possible use of LoRa in India

in practical LoRa can use anywhere where data

reporting and control may be needed.

Applications example for LoRa wireless technology :

1.Weightless• W and N 2. SigFox

• Not for Indian use (works on cellular frequency)

Competitors for LoRa Technology.
