LoRa research

LoRa technology was developed by a company called Semtech and it is a new wireless protocol designed specifically for long-range, low-power communications. LoRa stands for Long Range Radio and is mainly targeted for M2M and IoT networks. This technology will enable public or multi-tenant networks to connect a number of applications running on the same network ¹.

For different types of arduino, we can use a long range transciever LoRa shield called the ².

Set up LoRa on your laptop

1. Get the RadioHead library from http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/. There is a link with the ending .zip that you can click to download.
2. Add the library to your Arduino IDE.
