LoRaWAN is based on a Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) protocol specifically designed for wireless communication over long distances with minimal energy consumption. In a LoRaWAN network, end devices such as sensors and actuators communicate via LoRa gateways, which forward the data to a central network server. This server manages the data and ensures its secure transmission to the relevant endpoints, such as cloud applications. The network dynamically adapts to environmental conditions to maintain an optimal balance between range and energy consumption.

LoRaWAN offers significant advantages for public institutions and care facilities. For example, in schools, universities, and town halls, LoRaWAN enables the efficient control of heating systems, leading to substantial energy savings. Thanks to its easy integration and low energy consumption, LoRaWAN is the perfect solution for networking buildings and improving efficiency and security in public institutions.
