LoRaWAN is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) to which various IoT devices like sensors are connected. LoRaWAN provides IoT (Internet of Things) for e.g. municipalities, as it meets the most important requirements for IoT:

• Open Source architecture
• Bidirectional communication
• End-to-end encryption
• Low power consumption
• Wide network range
• Low cost

LoRaWAN offers a simple and smooth cooperation of different systems. The network architecture of LoRaWAN is typically arranged in a star topology.
