With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, more and more industries begin to pay attention to and try to apply this technology.LoRa (Long Range) is a communication technology of Low Power WAN (LPWAN).Because of its long distance, low power consumption, large number of connections and other characteristics, it has been widely used in the field of Internet of Things.The purpose of this article is to introduce the principle, communication technology, application scenarios and modules of LoRa to the traditional pre-transformation industry and Internet of Things industry.Usage, to help you better understand and apply this technology.
LoRa is a spread spectrum modulation technology, and its basic principle is to convert information data into spread spectrum signals for transmission through spread spectrum coding.Spread spectrum modulation is a technique for spreading the spectrum of information data by widening the bandwidth of the information data,The resistance of the signal to noise and interference in the transmission process is enhanced.LoRa uses chirp modulation to modulate the original data onto a high-bandwidth chirp signal.Thereby realizing reliable communication in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment.
LoRa communication technology is a wireless communication technology based on spread spectrum modulation, which has the characteristics of long distance, low power consumption and large number of connections.The LoRa network is generally composed of a Gateway and a Node, wherein the Gateway is responsible for receiving and forwarding data sent by the Node,The node is the data acquisition and sending unit of the Internet of Things device. LoRa communication technology offers the following benefits:
Long distance communication: LoRa technology uses spread spectrum modulation, so that the signal can be transmitted over long distances with low attenuation.O as to realize longer communication distance.
Low power consumption: LoRa technology uses spread spectrum modulation and frequency hopping technology to reduce the power consumption of the equipment.The energy consumption of the Internet of Things equipment can be kept low when the Internet of Things equipment runs for a long time.
Large number of connections: The LoRa network uses a star topology, and each gateway can connect multiple nodes.Thereby realizing the access and communication of a large number of devices.
LoRa technology has been widely used in many fields because of its long distance, low power consumption and large number of connections.Including but not limited to the following scenarios:
Smart city: LoRa technology can be used in smart lighting, smart transportation, smart security and other fields.To realize the intelligent management and monitoring of urban infrastructure.
