LoRa Gateways

Difficulty: expert

LoRa, short for LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a network technique where sensor devices connect to gateways/hubs through radio frequency bands. LoRa enables long-range transmissions with low power consumption outside of the on-site WiFi network.

In general, Workplace Connectivity can be described as follows: LoRa sensors send data through a LoRa gateway to the LoRa Sensor Cloud, and Workplace picks up the data from that platform.

All of the below gateways can be used together with all LoRa based devices: The gateways/hubs are actually just LoRa gateways and can hence also connect other LoRa devices (eg Elsys CO2 sensors or Sensative Strips also connect to the same gateway). In the future more LoRa devices can work on the same LoRa network.

→ They can all join on one happy private Lora network – you can mix all types of sensors and you can also mix different LoRa gateways in the same network.
