LoRaWAN operates in the sub-gigahertz frequency bands
and it’s specification varies from region to region because of regulatory requirement.
Low power consumption.
LoRa uses license-free sub-gigahertz radio frequency bands like 433 MHz, 868 MHz (Europe), 915 MHz (Australia and North America), 865 MHz to 867 MHz (India) and 923 MHz (Asia). LoRa enables long-range transmissions with low power consumption
LoRaWAN Frequency Band
now.
LoRaWAN Europe Frequency Band
- LoRaWAN defines ten channels for Europe. Out of which 8 channels are multi data rate from 250 bps to 5.5 kbps.
- One channel can operate at higher data rate with a speed of 11 kbps.
- And, one FSK channel at 50 kbps
The maximum power allowed is +14dBM.
LoRaWAN for North America
LoRaWAN defines 64, 125 kHz channels from 902.3 to 914.9 MHz increments.
There are an additional eight 500 KHz uplink channels in 1.6 MHz increments from 903 MHz to 914 MHz. The eight downlink channels are 500 kHz wide starting from 923.3 MHz to 927.5 MHz.
The maximum output power for North America is +30 dBM.
LoRaWAN
The LoRaWAN™ protocol is a global standard that offers a long range (up to 15km) bi-directional communications with very low power consumption, allowing operation for up to ten years on the same battery.

A bigger antenna doesn’t necessarily mean wider/further coverage or more HNT earnings
A bigger antenna doesn’t necessarily mean wider/further coverage or more HNT earnings. Take a look at the images above and notice the different coverage for antennas. The higher dBi antenna is,
