Cisco Solution for LoRaWAN
Around the world, millions of battery-powered things in cities such as 
car-parking lots, street light, utility meters (gas and water), pipeline, 
trash bins, location tracker, environmental sensors, smoke detectors, 
and water hydrants are connecting to the Internet. Those connected 
things are forming plenty of applications to improve city operation 
efficiency and people living, for instance, the asset tracking, smart 
parking, smart lighting, and smart building.
These Internet of Things (IoT) use cases are supported by an emerging 
wireless IoT infrastructure: the low-power, wide-area (LPWA) network 
operating on unlicensed ISM band. The LPWA network is specifically 
designed and optimized for such use cases that require end devices to 
be battery powered and have long-distance wireless access over miles:
•  Zero-touch provisioning for scalable deployment and maintenance
•  Ease of use with multiple portals for the network partner, connectivity 
supplier, and end-device management
•  Powerful tools for wireless packet logger, RF planning, and online 
channel noise scanning
LoRaWAN is an LPWA technology with open specifications by the 
LoRa® Alliance that operates on the unlicensed ISM band, such as 863–
870MHz and 902–928MHz. It supports bidirectional communication, 
chirp modulation, multiple spreading factors, adaptive data rate from 
300 bps to 5.5 Kpbs, and up to 15 kilometers single hop in rural from 
the end device to the LoRaWAN Gateway.
The Cisco solution for LoRaWAN includes the Cisco gateway, which 
extends existing industry-leading industrial routers IR809 and IR829 
with a ruggedized interface module for LoRaWAN, Cisco IoT field 
network director, and Cisco partner LoRaWAN back-end platform.
