Heavy Wireless 012: Why Wireless Pros Should Get To Know LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN is a wireless protocol that’s well suited for use cases that require long-range, low-power operations such as sensors, metering, asset and livestock tracking, municipal “smart city” initiatives, and more. On today’s Heavy Wireless, Keith Parsons welcomes Raymond Hendrix and Troy Martin to discuss this protocol. They explain the architecture of a LoRaWAN solution, its applications, and its pros and cons. They discuss the integration of different components into a Raspberry Pi and the trade-offs involved in LoRaWAN communication. They also provide resources for further learning, including the Things Network and the LoRa Alliance. Raymond Hendrix is co-founder and owner at WiFi Wise. Troy Martin is a Wi-Fi consultant specializing in mobile and cloud technology. Raymond and Troy are also instructors for a LoRaWAN course.
