LoRaWAN – Most Common Applications and Use Cases
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of millions of devices around the world that are connected to the internet and which measure, monitor, and provide rich data. Today IoT consists of many loosely connected networks, each of which solves its own problems. For example, in an office building, several LoRaWAN based IoT solutions could be deployed at once: one to control air conditioners, another for heating systems, lighting, security, and other IoT applications.
These IoT networks can operate according to different standards and combining them into one network is not a trivial task. Low-power wide-area networking (LPWAN) technologies are capable of supporting a large number of Internet of Things use cases. While several LPWAN technologies exist, Long Range (LoRa technology), and its network architecture LoRaWAN, is currently the most adopted technology. LoRa provides a range of physical layer communication settings, such as bandwidth, spreading factor, coding rate, and transmission frequency. These settings impact throughput, reliability, and communication range.

Kerlink Launches New Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway Featuring ‘Brand-New Operational Approach Critical for Massive IoT’
Thorigné-Fouillard, France – Oct. 19, 2021, 6:00 p.m. CET – Kerlink (AKLK – FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced its new LoRaWAN® indoor gateway designed to help smart cities, factories, warehouses, and building owners and operators easily support the booming number of connected sensors and devices of massive IoT.
Kerlink’s Wirnet™ iZeptoCell gateway is designed to reliably and seamlessly support low-power, wide-area-network (LPWAN) and LoRaWAN® technology, which is ideally suited to handle the three key characteristics of massive IoT:
- the huge number of individual endpoints (sensors or devices) connected to IoT networks,
- the increasing challenges for network coverage of remote and widely dispersed endpoints or deep inside building installations in basements and underground, and
- the soaring amounts of small data packages sent to the edge and to the cloud from the endpoints, requiring only low latency and small bandwidth.
