- 5. Laird Confidential4 About LoRa® & LoRaWAN™
- 6. Laird Confidential5 LoRa® • Wireless modulation technology • Physical layer for long-range communications • Low bandwidth • Low battery usage • In license-free ISM bands around the world – 433, 868, 915 MHz – Regulated (power, duty-cycle, bandwidth) • Sensitivity: -142 dBm • Link Budget (EU): 156 dB • Resistant against interference, multi-path, attenuation • Deep indoor coverage
- 7. Laird Confidential6 LoRaWAN™ • Communications protocol and architecture on LoRa PHY • Data rates ranging from 300bps to 5.5kbps • Supports bi-directional communication • AES 128 bit symmetric encryption • LoRa Alliance® maintains: – Core specification – Regional parameters – Back-end interfaces – Certification • Build private networks
- 9. Laird Confidential8 Cold Chain Monitoring: Ensuring Food Safety
- 10. Laird Confidential9 The Need for Wireless in Cold Chain Monitoring Monitoring and controlling food storage at all stages of the cold chain is critical. Automation of monitoring, including data logging and alerting, leads to: • Reduced potential for human error, increased accuracy • Simplified and automated compliance recording • Reduced food waste • Increased productivity and operational efficiency • Protection of your brand • Your global data set and sensor base being centralized • Enhanced food safety Simply Put – Food Safety and Operational Efficiency
- 11. Laird Confidential10 Why LoRaWAN for Cold Chain Monitoring? • Restaurants and food prep areas are not universal – Multi-floor, old/new construction materials, differing layouts and kitchens generally in the ‘back/bowels’ – Kitchens packed with large metal appliances (fridges, freezers, industrial ovens, smokers, fryers, etc.) • Sensors need placing in these environments, presenting severe challenges for wireless connectivity • The wireless sensors need to be battery powered to simplify, and ease installation • Once fitted the batteries need to last multi years before replacement for low cost maintenance • Number of sensors required changes with each location – all needing to send their data through harsh RF environments, robustly and reliably • Finally to ensure automated compliance logging and employee alerting, all this data needs to be bridged smoothly through to cloud-based server solutions. LoRaWAN delivers all of this and more!
