LoRaWAN regional parameters expand network capacity

FREMONT, Calif. — The LoRa Alliance, the global association of companies backing the open LoRaWAN standard for IoT low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), today announced the release of the latest LoRaWAN regional parameters which include new data rates that expand network capacity in specific use cases, including smart city and smart metering applications. Regional Parameters RP2-1.0.2 (the document is available for download here) adds support for new Long Range – Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (LR-FHSS) data rates for the EU868, US915 and AU915 regions. LoRaWAN’s low-power consumption is maintained with the LR-FHSS rates, while network capacity is significantly increased in certain...
