RAK811 LoRa Technology

RAK811 is a wireless transparent communications module, based on the Semtech SX1276. LoRa technology utilises a spread spectrum modulation in the Sub-GHz band to enable long range (greater than 10 miles) coverage, low power consumption (up to 10 years battery power), high network capacity (up to 1 million nodes), robust communication, and localisation capability. With strength of RF hardware capability by RAK, RAK811 communication distance maintains to 3000m with improved receive sensitivity. Moreover, RAK811 fully supports and conforms to the specifications of LoRaWAN Class A&C protocol, facilitating an easy access to LWPA IoT platforms such as Activity.

LoRa technology applies physical layer or wireless modulation to build long distance communication links. Based on LFM SS modulation, it maintains the same low power consumption as of FSK modulation, but significantly prolongs communication distance.

LoRaWAN defines communication protocol and system architecture of networking aiming at some core requirements of IoT, such as safe two-way communications, mobility, and local service. The technology does not require local complex configuration to allow seamless interoperability among smart devices, releasing the operating authority to the users, developers and enterprises of IoT.

LoRaWAN protocol gives you...

• Universality - LoRaWAN specifications have been formulated in Europe and North America. It's impact is widening with more developers and resources getting behind it.
• Safety - The protocol uses strict encryption algorithm assuring more stringent safety in its own private protocol module.
• Network roaming - LoRaWAN includes detailed protocol planning of roaming to smoothen your network.
• Business advantage - LoRaWAN protocol has been adopted in LoRa networks of Japan, South Korea, and Singapore with outstanding business prospect.
