What is LoRa

What it is

A long-range, low-power radio protocol — it works where there is no Wi-Fi or mobile network, over distances of several kilometres.

How we use it

As a backup channel for emergency commands in devices at venues where the regular network is unreliable or absent.

Where it helps a business

Devices operate on a site where Wi-Fi and mobile networks are unreliable or absent.
An emergency command (stop, switch off) must reach the device even if the main channel is down.

How we use it

We use LoRa as a backup channel for emergency commands to devices on sites where the regular network is unreliable. The main exchange goes over the regular network, and LoRa secures what must not be lost.

Common problems

It is slow. LoRa carries short messages, not video or large volumes of data.
One more radio. A separate module and antenna complicate the device, so we add it only where a backup channel is essential.

When you do not need it

If the site has stable Wi-Fi or mobile coverage, a backup radio channel is unnecessary.
