LoRa, which
stands for Long Range, is a wireless technology widely acknowledged for its
ability to send small amount of data over wide distances. LoRa is one of the
pillars of low power wide area (LPWA) network technologies that are going to
help bolster the adoption of Massive IoT, because they are purpose built for
low powered and battery operated devices within a vast ecosystem of IoT – think
agriculture where soil sensors are taking quick, semi-infrequent readings of
moisture, pH, etc.
LPWA is divided
into two classifications. On one side, there is cellular LPWA, which leverages
a mobile network – and those include Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and Long Term
Machine Type Communications (LTE-M). LoRa is a non-cellular LPWA network that
distributes information across different frequency channels and data rates
using encoded packets.
What is
LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN is the
network protocol that links the LoRa signal (sensor data) to the
application(s). To put it simply, LoRa is the radio signal that carries the
data, and LoRaWAN is the communication protocol that controls and defines how
that data is communicated across the network.

Clarification for the RTK and the Lora Cables
We've noticed that there have been some questions about the RTK/Lora cable, and we'd like to provide some clarification on this subject. To begin with, there are two cables attached to the RTK base - one for the RTK Antenna, and another for the Lora ...
Does the RTK Antenna Or LoRa Antenna Require a "Line of sight" to Yarbo?
No, they don't Understanding the logic behind the RTK System and the rover enables you to answer this question. Yarbo doesn't rely on direct visibility of the RTK System(RTK Antenna, LoRa Antenna and RTK Base). However, installing the RTK Antennas ...
Does the Internet Connection Affect the GPS Signal?
The stability of the internet connection (Wi-Fi/4G) plays a critical role in facilitating communication between Yarbo's rover and the RTK Base. The RTK Base serves as a reference point, delivering real-time correction and precise GPS data to the ...
