LoRa stands for Long Range, a wireless communication technology designed for low-power, long-distance data transmission. It is particularly useful for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, allowing devices to communicate over several kilometers while consuming minimal energy. This makes it ideal for smart cities, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.
The LoRaWAN protocol, which operates on top of LoRa, manages the communication between devices and gateways. It enables secure, bidirectional communication and supports a large number of devices in a single network. This scalability and efficiency make LoRa a popular choice for various industries looking to implement connected solutions.
