How Our Lora Sensor System Works

The TIS LoRa sensor operates using Long Range (LoRa) technology, which is a low-power, long-range wireless communication system specifically designed for IoT applications. Here’s how it works:
Data Collection

The TIS LoRa sensor gathers data from its environment. This data can come from various sensor types, such as temperature, humidity, motion, or gas sensors, depending on the application.

Once the sensor collects the data, it uses LoRa modulation to convert it into a radio signal. LoRa modulation, based on Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS), is highly resistant to interference, allowing data to travel over long distances (up to 1.2 km) with minimal power consumption.

The sensor transmits the signal via the built-in LoRaWAN protocol, which is a network layer built on LoRa. LoRaWAN enables devices to communicate over long distances with minimal power, making it highly suitable for battery-operated sensors.

The signal is received by a LoRaWAN gateway, which collects data from multiple sensors in its range and forwards it to a central server, often via an internet connection.

The central server processes the received data and makes it available for analysis, monitoring, and decision-making, often displayed on a dashboard for real-time insights. Some systems may include automated responses based on this data, like sending alerts or triggering other devices.

LoRa is reshaping the landscape of connected devices by providing long-range, low-power solutions, making IoT more accessible and scalable than ever.

Exclusive Features of TIS Lora Sensors

TIS LoRa sensors have a range of features that make them highly suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, particularly in environments where long-range, low-power communication is essential. Key features include:

Long Range

LoRa sensors can transmit data over distances of up to 1.2 km in rural areas and up to several kilometers in dense urban environments, far surpassing the range of traditional wireless sensors.

Designed for energy efficiency, LoRa sensors can operate on small batteries for years (often 2–10 years), making them ideal for remote or hard-to-reach installations where frequent battery replacement is impractical.

LoRa uses Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation, which provides excellent resistance to interference, ensuring reliable data transmission even in noisy or congested environments.

LoRa sensors support two-way communication, allowing data to be transmitted to the gateway and enabling remote control of devices or configuration updates to be sent back to the sensor.

LoRaWAN networks can support thousands of devices within a single network, making it easy to expand sensor deployments without significant infrastructure changes.

Without needing GPS, LoRa sensors can be used for approximate location tracking by using triangulation techniques from multiple gateways, useful in asset tracking and mobile monitoring applications.

LoRa supports both public and private network setups, giving organizations flexibility in choosing centralized, local networks or larger public networks as needed.

LoRaWAN uses AES-128 encryption to secure data transmission, protecting information across the network and ensuring data integrity.

With a variety of sensor types (temperature, humidity, pressure, motion, etc.), LoRa sensors can be used in diverse environments like agriculture, industrial, smart cities, and environmental monitoring.

LoRa enables the transmission of real-time data with low latency, making it possible for applications to react quickly to sensor inputs, such as in alerting or automation scenarios.

With LoRa, we can bring the Internet of Things to life in real environments, capturing data over vast distances at minimal power, a game-changer for industries everywhere

LoRa sensors have made it possible to monitor remote areas at a fraction of the energy cost, providing invaluable data for sectors like agriculture and environmental management.
