LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is an open LPWAN protocol on LoRa chirp-spread-spectrum radio. Devices send small payloads over kilometers on unlicensed ISM bands (e.g. 868 MHz in Europe) — ideal for sensors and gateways without per-device cellular subscriptions.

What is the difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN?

LoRa is the physical modulation (chirp spread spectrum). LoRaWAN is the MAC/network protocol: device classes (Class A/B/C), Adaptive Data Rate (ADR), security and star topology via gateways to a network server.

What are LoRaWAN Class A, B and C?

Class A is battery-friendly with uplink-triggered receive windows. Class B adds scheduled downlink slots. Class C stays mostly in receive mode for low-latency downlink (typically mains-powered). Choose class based on power budget and control latency needs.
