WHY LORAWAN
®
IS THE FOUNDATION
FOR SMART BUILDING SUCCESS
relatively distant future when new buildings are designed to
be smart, LoRaWAN will continue to be attractive because
the cost of wiring and configuration of networks will remain
simpler and significantly more cost effective than hard-
wired solutions.
PRIVATE NETWORKS
LoRaWAN enables organizations to install a completely
private network requiring no contract with a network
operator or coordination with corporate IT infrastructure.
CONCLUSION
As smart building capabilities increase and smart
functionality becomes an expectation among building users,
LoRaWAN is an ideal fit for the majority of applications.
Typically, smart building apps require connectivity at
relatively low data rates with no requirement for ultra-low
latency. The throughput offered by the technology is more
than adequate for applications such as booking meeting
rooms, controlling localized cooling or determining whether
rubbish bins need emptying.
LoRaWAN capacity and indoor range exceed the needs
of the fast growing smart building IoT segment. Further,
because of its wide deployment footprint, there is already
a mature and strong developer community creating
new devices and applications all the time. Importantly,
LoRaWAN is a technology that can support multiple use
cases simultaneously and do so at low cost, with easy
installation.
