The LoRa device enables data transmission over longer distances with lower power consumption, thanks to the advent of LoRa Spread Spectrum technology. This important innovation has expanded the possibilities of LoRa technology and offers us more efficient communication solutions in the field.
What is LoRa wireless technology?
LoRa wireless technology is a wireless protocol designed for long-range and low-power communication. It allows a wide range of IoT devices to transmit data efficiently over a wide geographic range, and is particularly suited to application scenarios that require long periods of operation with limited battery life. LoRa technology enables efficient wireless connectivity in all types of environments and supports large-scale device networks.
What is LoRa Extended Spectrum Technology?
LoRa extended spectrum technology is one of the core LoRa wireless technologies and is based on the principle of spread spectrum modulation. It achieves spread spectrum gain by expanding the signal into a wider bandwidth. It significantly improves the anti-interference capability and enhances the communication range.
Advantages of LoRa Spread Spectrum
Strong anti-interference ability: LoRa spread spectrum technology has strong suppression ability to the same frequency interference and all kinds of noise. This effectively reduces the BER.
Low transmit power density: due to its low power characteristics, LoRa devices are less likely to cause interference to other devices. These characteristics make it suitable for use in dense environments.
High confidentiality: the characteristics of spread spectrum signals make the possibility of interception extremely low, enhancing the security of communication.
Excellent anti-multipath fading performance: LoRa technology performs well in complex environments and can effectively deal with signal fading.
The Role of the LoRa Gateway
LoRa gateway plays a very important role in the network of data transmission. It serves as a bridge between LoRa devices and cloud services. LoRa gateways can receive data from multiple LoRa devices and forward them to the cloud for processing. Take IOTRouter’s EG2000 for example, this LoRa wireless communication edge gateway can support efficient data transmission.
Main features of EG2000
The working frequency band is 410~493MHz, the communication distance is up to 8Km, and the maximum transmit power is 30dBm.
1. Interface types: The EG2000 supports RS485, Ethernet and antenna interfaces, enabling it to integrate with different devices and systems.
2.Protocol support: The gateway supports a wide range of communication protocols such as MQTT, TCP, HTTP, UDP and Modbus RTU……This can ensure that it can be adapted to various application scenarios.
3.Network types: The EG2000 supports 4G, LoRa and Ethernet connectivity, providing more connectivity options for devices.
4.Remote commissioning and maintenance: The EG2000 features built-in remote commissioning and maintenance capabilities, making managing devices more efficient without physical contact.
5.Logic and data format customisation: Users can customise the logic and data format to meet the specific requirements of different enterprises.
6.Edge Computing and Visual Programming: EG2000 integrates edge computing capabilities to bring data processing closer to the data source. It also provides a visual drag-and-drop programming function, which is convenient for non-professional programmers to use.
Application Scenarios of LoRa Gateway
LoRa gateways can be widely used in several fields, including city management, smart home, agriculture and industrial control.
City management: By deploying LoRa gateways, intelligent street light switch control, real-time monitoring of rubbish bins and traffic light management can be realised. It effectively improves the intelligent level of city management.
Agriculture: Through the deployment of LoRa gateway, automatic irrigation and real-time monitoring of soil moisture can be realised on farmland. This can significantly improve agricultural productivity and resource utilisation.
Industrial control: LoRa gateway can realise remote monitoring and control of equipment to enhance the intelligence of industrial production.
LoRa devices utilise LoRa extended spectrum technology, which not only improves communication efficiency, but also provides powerful support for various IoT applications. By using IOTRouter’s EG2000 LoRa gateway, users can achieve seamless data transmission and remote management. The introduction of new technologies by Lora devices opens up new possibilities for applications in areas such as smart cities, agriculture and industrial IoT.
