Long-range (LoRa) technology has emerged as a robust solution for IoT communication, offering an extended range and low power consumption. In this blog, we delve into the world of LoRa point-to-point communication, sharing our experience at WeMakeIoT where we successfully utilized ESP32 development boards and LoRa E5 modules to transmit and receive LoRa messages. […]
The LoRaWAN specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect ‘things’ to the Internet and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility, and localization services. It wirelessly connects devices to the internet and manages communication between end-node devices and network gateways. An […]
The advancement in technology has entered into the world of farming and poultry. A smart poultry farm consists of three major components: poultry house, poultry feeder, and smart feeder. The feeder will be able to dispense the required amount of feed at the desired time to the poultry birds, and it is also capable of […]
One popular LoRaWAN gateway we have used is the Dragino LPS8 LoRaWAN gateway. LoRaWAN gateway has the primary purpose of bridging between LoRa and the internet. LPS8 supports both Wi-Fi and ethernet. The data from LoRa end nodes can be picked up by the gateway antenna and with the help of the concentrator and packet […]
