Let's Talk about IoT LoRa

IoT (Internet of Things) refers to the interconnected network of devices, objects, and sensors that communicate with each other and with the internet to provide data and automation. One way to enable IoT communication is through the use of LoRa (Long Range) technology.

LoRa is a type of wireless communication technology that is specifically designed for long-range communication with low power consumption. It uses low-frequency radio waves to transmit data over long distances, making it ideal for IoT devices that are spread over a wide area.

The LoRa technology uses different frequencies for communication, depending on the region and the specific use case. In general, there are three frequency bands available for LoRa communication: 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz. These frequencies are within the unlicensed spectrum, which means that they can be used without requiring a license from regulatory authorities.

The 433 MHz band is used in Europe and Asia, while the 915 MHz band is used in the United States, Canada, and South America. The 868 MHz band is used in Europe and other regions that do not support 433 MHz.
