What are LoRa® and LoRaWAN®?
LoRa is an RF modulation technology for low-power, wide area networks (LPWANs). The name, LoRa, is a
reference to the extremely long-range data links that this technology enables. Created by Semtech to
standardize LPWANs, LoRa provides for long-range communications: up to three miles (five kilometers)
in urban areas, and up to 10 miles (15 kilometers) or more in rural areas (line of sight). A key
characteristic of the LoRa-based solutions is ultra-low power requirements, which allows for the
creation of battery-operated devices that can last for up to 10 years. Deployed in a star topology, a
network based on the open LoRaWAN protocol is perfect for applications that require long-range or
deep in-building communication among a large number of devices that have low power requirements
and that collect small amounts of data.
Consider the differences between LoRa and other network technologies that are typically used in IoT or
traditional machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity solutions:

Note: In Europe, mobile network operators have implemented a dual strategy to address packet size
and latency issues. They often offer both LoRaWAN and Cat-M1, which are complementary
technologies. LoRaWAN accommodates the need for longer battery life, with a trade-off of longer
latency and smaller packet sizes. In contrast Cat-M1 can be used for larger payloads with less latency
than LoRaWAN can accommodate.

Figure 2 highlights some important advantages of deploying a LoRaWAN network:
Figure 2: Advantages of deploying a LoRaWAN network
Let’s look into these advantages in a little more depth.
With respect to range, a single LoRa-based gateway can receive and transmit signals over a distance of
more than 10 miles (15 kilometers) in rural areas. Even in dense urban environments, messages are able
to travel up to three miles (five kilometers), depending on how deep indoors the end devices (end
nodes) are located.
As far as battery life goes, the energy required to transmit a data packet is quite minimal given that the
data packets are very small and only transmitted a few times a day. Furthermore, when the end devices
are asleep, the power consumption is measured in milliwatts (mW), allowing a device’s battery to last
for many, many years.

When it comes to capacity, a LoRaWAN network can support millions of messages. However, the number
of messages supported in any given deployment depends upon the number of gateways that are installed.
A single eight-channel gateway can support up to 1.5M messages over the course of a 24-hour
period. If each end device sends a message every hour, such a gateway can support up to 60,000
devices
1
. If the network includes 10 such gateways, the network can support roughly 100,000 devices
and one million messages. If more capacity is required, all that is needed is to add additional gateways to
the network.
And then, there is cost. Given the capabilities of LoRa-based end nodes and gateways, only a few
gateways – configured in a star network – are required to serve a multitude of end nodes. This means
that capital and operational expenses can be kept relatively low. Also, when the cost-effective LoRa RF
modules that are embedded in inexpensive end nodes are used in conjunction with the open LoRaWAN
standard, the return on investment can be considerable.
Radio Modulation and LoRa
A proprietary spread-spectrum modulation technique derived from existing Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS)
technology, LoRa offers a trade-off between sensitivity and data rate, while operating in a fixed-
bandwidth channel of either 125 KHz or 500 KHz (for uplink channels), and 500 KHz (for downlink
channels). Additionally, LoRa uses orthogonal spreading factors. This allows the network to preserve the
battery life of connected end nodes by making adaptive optimizations of an individual end node’s power
levels and data rates. For example, an end device located close to a gateway should transmit data at a
low spreading factor, since very little link budget is needed. However, an end device located several
miles from a gateway will need to transmit with a much higher spreading factor. This higher spreading
factor provides increased processing gain, and higher reception sensitivity, although the data rate will,
necessarily, be lower.
LoRa is purely a physical (PHY), or “bits” layer implementation, as defined by the OSI seven-layer
Network Model, depicted in Figure 3. Instead of cabling, the air is used as a medium for transporting
LoRa radio waves from an RF transmitter in an IoT device to an RF receiver in a gateway, and vice versa.

Figure 3: OSI seven-layer network model
In a traditional or Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) system, the carrier phase of the transmitter
signal changes according to a code sequence as shown in Figure 4. When multiplying the data signal with
a pre-defined bit pattern at a much higher rate, also known as a spreading code (or chip sequence), a
“faster” signal is created that has higher frequency components than the original data signal. This means
that the signal bandwidth is spread beyond the bandwidth of the original signal. In RF terminology, the
bits of the code sequence are called chips (in order to distinguish between the longer, un-coded, bits of
the original data signal). When the transmitted signal arrives at the RF receiver, it is multiplied with an
identical copy of the spreading code used in the RF transmitter, resulting in a replica of the original data
signal.
