LoRa
A long-range, low-power radio modulation technology.
IN ONE SENTENCE
It can move small amounts of data over long distances using very little power.
In normal English
LoRa is the underlying radio technology; LoRaWAN is a network protocol built on top of it. Proprietary point-to-point or private LoRa systems can also exist.
Why would I use it?
Use it when long range and low power matter more than high data speed.
THINK OF IT LIKE…
A radio designed to whisper small messages so they travel a very long way.
