LoRaWAN data rate

LoRaWAN features a raw maximum data rate of 27 kbps (50 kbps when using FSK instead of LoRa), and claims that a single gateway can collect data from thousands of nodes deployed kilometers away.

What is the maximum rate of data LoRaWAN can transfer?

LoRaWAN communication system. The data transfer rate varies from 300 bps to 37.5 kbps, depending on the spreading factor and the bandwidth of the communication channel. A LoRa Gateway has the ability to simultaneously receive and broadcast messages with different SF (spreading factors).

What is LoRa coding rate?

The coding rate refers to the proportion of transmitted bits that actually carry information. Coding rate can be 6/8, 4/8, etc… So if CR is 4/8 we are transmitting twice as many bits as the ones containing information.

Is LoRa high bandwidth?

The LoRa physical layer is intended for low throughput, low data rate, and high link budget (i.e., “long-range”) applications. For a fixed channel bandwidth, the higher the spreading factor, the higher the processing gain, resulting in an increase in sensitivity and, therefore, an increase in link budget.

Is LoRaWAN a 4G?

Trax20214 is an open source LoRaWAN 4G LTE Gateway. It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via WiFi, Ethernet, Or 3G/4G cellular via optional LTE module. The LoRa wireless allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates.
