LoRaWAN is based on a Low Power Wide Area Network protocol (LPWAN) specifically developed 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-based applications. The network dynamically adapts to environmental conditions to ensure the optimum balance between range and energy consumption.

LoRaWAN offers significant benefits for public institutions and care homes. In schools, universities and town halls, for example, LoRaWAN enables heating systems to be controlled efficiently, resulting in substantial energy savings. Thanks to its easy integration and low energy consumption, LoRaWAN is the perfect solution for connecting buildings and improving efficiency and security in public institutions.
