7. What is LoRaWAN?

8. What is LoRaWAN? LoRaWAN – Low Range Wide Area Network
It is estimated that there will be 50 billion connected devices by 2020
Each LoRaWAN Gateway is able to support up to 20,000 IoT devices.
It can operate successfully at ranges exceeding 15 km in suburban settings and more than 2 km in dense urban environments.
An IoT devices can achieve over 10 year battery life
Bradford Council has purchased
3 LoRaWAN Gateways
5 Flood Sensors
University of Bradford
IoT Lab Launched in 2016

9. What is LoRaWAN Things Network (Leeds and Bradford) Gateways
The Things Network is a global, open, crowd-sourced Internet of Things data network
The Things Network uses the LoRaWAN network technology to provide low power wireless connectivity over long range.
Gateways
1 gateway in Leeds at the ODI Leeds
1 gateway in Bradford at the DHEZ
