Nodes and Gateways

@ttndallas

N = NodesExample sensor device:

● Movement sensor● Light sensor● Temperature sensor● A button● RGB light● Waterproof casing● 3 AAA batteries for one+ year of usage● ~$80

● Can manage 10,000 nodes● ~ 6miles range● ~$300

1. Long range - multiple miles

2. Low power - sensor devices can last months/years on a battery

3. Low cost - less than $25 CAPEX per node, almost no OPEX

4. Low bandwidth - something like 400 bytes per hour

5. Coverage everywhere - just install your own gateways

6. Secure - 128-bit end-to-end encrypted

7. A gateway serves up to 10,000 nodes

@ttndallas

LoRa Pros

2. Phone calls

3. Controlling lights in your house

4. Sending photos, watching Netflix

5. Geolocation / Triangulation - use GPS instead

1. Live sensordata - you can only send small packets every ±5 minutes

LoRa Cons

In a nutshell:

● Long range

● Low cost

● Secure

⇒ Enables sensor devices “everywhere” and new services

@ttndallas

Why LoRa?

Scenario: On vacation

“I suspect my AC is broken”

● Review temperature chart

● Receive text notifications for out-of-range temperatures

● Schedule AC repair service

@ttndallas

Scenario: Airbnb

“Are my tenants too loud?”

● Review noise chart

● Inspect noise event logs

● Text notifications to owner & tenant

@ttndallas

Scenario: Parents Care

“How are my parents?”

● View live charts, ex. temperature, light, noise

● Receive text notifications on out-of-range conditions, ex. noise

Scenario: On vacation
