Covers long ranges and even penetrates thick building materials
It's cheap to implement. The hardware’s cost is affordable, and the spectrum is unlicensed
Supports remote control and access
With the LoRaWAN network, cloud applications are easily accessible
It's secure. The network transmits secure signals
LoRaWAN uses 868 MHz/915 MHz ISM bands which are available everywhere in the globe
Simple architecture makes it easy to install and use
One LoRa Gateway gadget can serve thousands of end devices
It's highly used for Internet of Things and M2M applications
Challenges of LoRaWAN network
Here are LoRaWAN Network challenges
1.Only suitable for applications that need a low data rate, i.e., up to about 27 Kbps, not more.
2.LoRaWAN network size is limited based on a parameter known as duty cycle hence limiting traffic served.
3.LoRaWAN is not suitable for real-time uses that have lower latency and bounded jitter needs.
4.LoRaWAN doesn’t guarantee message delivery because the packet error rates of more than 50% is common.
5.Implementation is costly and tiresome. You’ll need many products like gateways, servers, nodes, and others to establish a complete LoRaWAN ecosystem.
What is LoRaWAN applications
Long Range technology (LoRa) was started in France in 2009 by Nicolas Sornin and Olivier Seller, who ever since stopped at nothing to make it a reality. They derived this technique from the chirp spread spectrum tech (CSS). Semtech later acquired this wireless network technology in May 2012. The technology’s low power and long-range capabilities are now evident in multiple Lora applications like smart environments, smart cities, disease and pandemic control, smart homes, smart agriculture, smart utilities, smart metering, smart supply chain, and logistics, among many others we will discuss here. LoRaWAN applications are identifiable by their unique LoRa application id.

How Does LoRaWAN Technology Work?
LoRaWAN network works on a point-to-multipoint protocol. Being a star network, LoRaWAN communicates similar to how a teacher speaks to the students (from one point to many points). Communication in LoRaWAN is two-way traffic. A LoRaWAN gateway (teacher) sends information to end nodes (students) and vice versa. When a gateway sends information to the nodes, one or more nodes then transmit the same information to the radio spectrum, where another gateway can pick up the information and send it to the cloud
LoRaWAN Network Fundamentals
There are four main LoRaWAN network fundamentals. They include:
End devices, Nodes, and Mote
LoRaWAN Gateways
LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS)
Application servers and Join servers
These are LoRa-based devices or gadgets embedded with a low-power communication object.
These are antennas that receive transmissions (LoRa modulated messages) from end devices and send it to the LoRa application server, which in turn sends it back to end devices.
It manages the whole network. It directs messages from end devices to the intended application and back.
LoRa application server free handles secures, manages, and interprets sensor app data while a join server manages the wireless activation when adding end devices to the network.

LoRaWAN End Device Classes
There are 3 types of devices in LoRaWAN specifications: Class A, B, and C. The fundamental rule is that all LoRaWAN end devices must support Class A operation, but Class B and C are extensions to Class A specifications
Class A
Class B
Class C
Support point-to-multi-point communication between a device and a gateway.
Extends Class A by bringing in scheduled receiver windows for downlink messages from the LoRaWAN server.
Extend Class A by maintaining the receive windows open unless they are broadcasting / transmitting.
