LoRaWAN 

The Wireless Network Behind Smart Building Sensors

01

Overview

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is the wireless standard our sensors use to send data. It’s designed for the Internet of Things (IOT): small packets of data, sent over long distances, with very little power.

Unlike Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, LoRaWAN isn’t built for streaming video or big downloads. Instead, it’s built for exactly what buildings need: tiny, regular updates from sensors — like “temperature here is 22°C” or “pump has started.” Because it’s so efficient, devices can run for years on a single battery.

How it works

01

Smart sensors measure temperature, air quality, energy use, occupancy, and more in real time.

02

Data is sent securely over long-range, low-power LoRa signals — even through walls and basements.

03

Local gateways pick up the LoRa messages and forward them to the cloud via secure internet connection.

04

Data is processed and displayed in easy-to-use dashboards, with alerts and trends ready for action.
