LoRaWAN stands for Long Range Wide Area Network. It describes the network structure that was developed specifically for the Internet of Things. The system is designed to transmit small amounts of data over long distances with low power consumption and is therefore superior to other transmission technologies. The energy-saving transmission of data opens up new possibilities in wildlife tracking. Transmitters can be made smaller and lighter because they no longer rely on large and heavy batteries.
