Nodes and Gateways
@ttndallas

N = Nodes

@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
