LoRaWAN is an LPWN (low-power, wide area networking) protocol built on a physical proprietary radio communication technique, provides network protocols for network traffic related to data collection and IoT device management. LoRaWAN enables battery-powered devices to connect to the network over a long distance using extremely low bandwidth. It is appropriate for transmitting small-size packets with a long-distance communication network.
LoRaWAN Gateway works as a bridge between end users and network servers. Signal as RF packets from the end devices can be received and forwarded by the LoRaWAN gateway into LNS( LoRaWAN Network Server). With the help of the LNS, users can easily manage applications, end devices, and gateways.
Trending LoRaWAN Gateways in the Market
Choosing the right LoRaWAN Gateway can help users build robust and reliable IoT system architecture. But a saturated market makes it challenging for a user to select the suitable LoRaWAN Gateway for his LoRaWAN development. So the following table shows a comparison between the trending LoRaWAN Gateways in the Market.
