LoRa-connectivity

LoRa for your connected devices

LoRa stands for Long Range, Low Power. This Internet of Things connection has been specially developed to exchange small amounts of data between objects and systems. A single LoRa module can send more than 10 years’ worth of data using just two batteries. This provides an economical way to gain insights into the status of your ‘things’.

The possibilities of LoRa are endless. You can increase your efficiency or detect maintenance issues occurring in your ‘things’ ahead of time, thereby preventing any incidents – all thanks to the data collected.
