Antenna Knowledges

While it is technically possible to use a Wi-Fi antenna for LoRa communication, it may not always be the most optimal choice. Wi-Fi antennas are designed to operate at specific frequency bands (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) and are optimized for the characteristics of Wi-Fi signals, such as high data rates and relatively short-range communication.   LoRa operates in different …

LoRa (Long Range) and Wi-Fi are both wireless communication technologies, but they serve different purposes and have distinct advantages and disadvantages. Here are some reasons why one might choose LoRa over Wi-Fi for certain applications: 1. **Long Range**: As the name suggests, LoRa is designed for long-range communication, often reaching several kilometers in range, especially in rural or suburban environments. …

The range of LoRa (Long Range) transmissions can vary significantly depending on several factors such as the transmit power, antenna gain, environmental conditions, interference, and regulatory limitations. However, LoRa is designed to achieve long-range communication with low power consumption, making it suitable for various Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications.   In general, LoRa can achieve communication ranges …

The choice of antenna type for LoRa (Long Range) applications depends on several factors including the operating frequency, range requirements, environmental conditions, and deployment scenario. Here are some commonly used antenna types for LoRa applications: 1. **Rubber Duck Antenna**: Rubber duck antennas are compact and omnidirectional, making them suitable for applications where the device may be moving or where signals …

When selecting an RF cable assembly for LoRaWAN applications, there are several factors to consider, including frequency, impedance, connector types, cable type, and environmental conditions. Here’s a recommendation for a suitable RF cable assembly for LoRaWAN: 1. **Frequency**: Since LoRaWAN operates in various frequency bands such as 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz, ensure that the RF cable assembly …

The difference between 433 MHz and 915 MHz LoRaWan networks lies primarily in their operating frequencies, regulatory considerations, communication range, and interference characteristics. Here’s a comparison of the two: 1. **Operating Frequency**: – **433 MHz LoRaWAN Network**: Operates in the 433 MHz frequency band, which is commonly used for short-range and low-power communication in various regions worldwide. It’s often utilized …

The primary differences between 433 MHz and 868 MHz LoRaWAN networks lie in their operating frequencies and regulatory considerations. Here’s a breakdown of the key distinctions: 1. **Operating Frequency**: – **433 MHz LoRaWAN Network**: This operates in the 433 MHz frequency band, which is commonly used for short-range and low-power communication in various regions worldwide. It offers good penetration through …

  A LoRa antenna is a type of antenna designed specifically for use with LoRa (Long Range) wireless communication technology. LoRa is a low-power, long-range wireless communication standard developed for the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. LoRa operates in the unlicensed radio spectrum, typically in the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. LoRa antennas are typically designed …

LoRaWAN Frequency Plans and Regulations by Country/Region   Summary This document is only a summary of radio regulations, and the appropriate frequency plan that should be used in the corresponding countries. This is in no way an official document; gateway owners are still obliged to find, study and adhere to their own country’s regulations. Some countries also expect you to …
