LoRa, short for Long Range, denotes a network modulation technology based on the physical layer.
Its hallmark features are long-distance transmission and low power consumption, offering a more cost-effective solution compared to other wireless network transmission methods. LoRa has rapidly advanced in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT), finding applications in smart factories, wastewater treatment, energy plants, and more.
A LoRa gateway, therefore, refers to an IoT data acquisition device that leverages LoRa's long-distance and low-power characteristics.
It is widely used in industrial settings and boasts a range of powerful functions, including flexible networking, easy deployment, secure control, cloud platform integration, edge computing, and protocol parsing.
