All Areas of Our Lives As we know, the Internet
of Things has become an inevitable trend in the
development of the Internet. The Internet of
Things can connect almost everything into the
network. As a basic part of the Internet of
Things, LoRaWAN naturally cannot be ignored. It
is even no exaggeration to say that the
application of LoRaWAN gateways occupies almost
all areas of our lives. I have already
introduced you to the working principle of the
LoRaWAN gateway and how to choose the LoRaWAN
gateway. Today we will take a look at the
application of the LoRaWAN gateway in life and
the changes it will bring to our lives! 1.
Improve agricultural efficiency and simplify
farming methods Agriculture is a necessity for
life and the economy, and the use of LoRaWAN IoT
applications can achieve the maximum efficiency
of agriculture, thereby reducing environmental
impact, maximizing yield, and minimizing costs.
From "measurement of environmental conditions
affecting crop production" to "tracking of
livestock health indicators", LoRaWAN networks
and LoRaWAN gateways are extremely important for
improving agricultural systems. Let's take a
look at how LoRa technology improves agricultural
efficiency? Because LoRa technology has low
power consumption, long-distance characteristics,
and wireless quality, the use of LoRa sensors
can send signals from the farm to the cloud, and
users can use signal data to improve operations
and build a huge intelligent agricultural network
system to improve The state of agriculture. For
example, The LoRaWAN gateway applications to
monitor soil moisture, soil sensing, animal
tracking, monitoring, and so on.

LoRaWAN gateway applied to smart agriculture As
shown in the figure above, based on the LoRaWAN
gateway and various LoRa sensing devices, the
nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) levels
in the soil can be quickly detected, and relevant
data can be transmitted to the terminal. Through
data analysis, farmers can take corresponding
measures to help reduce waste and maximize crop
yields. In addition, LoRa-enabled GPS trackers
and biometric sensors can monitor vital organs
and locations of cows. Capsules equipped with
LoRa can also be implanted into the
gastrointestinal tract of cattle to monitor
various health indicators and health conditions.
Once the dairy cows have any unusual activities
or accidents, the farmers can get the status of
the animals in time. 2. Accelerate urban
development and create quality life For urban
infrastructure applications, LoRaWAN gateways are
also widely used. LoRa technology can make
connected lighting, waste removal, and vehicle
services in daily life more intelligent.

timetables, commuters can use LoRa-based solar
screens to display information, such as the next
bus departure time and the latest timetable
changes. This saves a lot of time for commuters.

Smart street lights, LoRa-based street lighting
systems can minimize the cost of electricity
without affecting the city's infrastructure and
facilities. The fact that LoRa technology aims at
low cost and low power consumption makes this
application effectively possible. Smart parking,
LoRa technology makes deployment easier to park,
and users can share parking status with any
device that supports LoRa. This can transform
basic commercial and municipal parking spaces
into smart spaces that can detect the absence,
presence, arrival, and departure of
vehicles. LoRa technology can also be used in
various urban applications such as smart
metering, smart water leakage detection, and
smart flood sensors.

to make health more assured LoRa technology is
also suitable for medical applications due to its
low power consumption, low cost and wide
coverage. It has great benefits for improving
medical care and people's livelihood. For
example, real-time tracking of Alzheimer's and
dementia patients. Wearable devices that support
LoRaWAN can monitor the condition of Alzheimer's
patients in real time. When the patient leaves
the designated safe area, these devices will
promptly remind the nursing staff to ensure the
maximum safety of the patient. The LoRaWAN
gateway can also be applied to children's
wearable devices, and LoRa-enabled bracelets and
smart watches can be used to track the location
of children. Parents can know where their
children are at any time, and they can find them
as soon as possible when they are in danger or
accident. LoRa technology can also be used to
check the temperature of food. It can not only
help prevent food spoilage and food waste, but
also help prevent food loss and food safety due
to storage temperature.

scenarios, LoRa technology can also be applied to
smart homes, construction equipment, home
security, smart industry, smart metering, supply
chain and logistics, etc. In addition, due to
the long-distance, low-power characteristics of
LoRa technology and powerful geographic
positioning capabilities, vehicles, goods,
trucks and other assets can be easily monitored
in large geographic areas and harsh
environmental conditions, making smart supply
chains and logistics easier To carry out the
transportation of high-value assets. Read here

change the world.
