In this video, I show you the basic principles of LoRa and LoRaWAN, its plusses and minuses, and also show you my own LoRa gateway and a LoRa client, and send the first message to the things network.
Link budget and bandwidth are introduced.
This technology can be used for Arduino and other microcontrollers like the ESP8266 or the ESP32. It is LPWAN technology.
