Visualizing Sensor and Gateway Coverage
This page provides a visualization of the LoRaWAN network coverage for sensors and gateways in various environments. Users can add sensors and gateways to the map, adjust their positions, and see the coverage area based on the selected environment.
Range: 2-5 km
In dense urban environments with tall buildings, expect coverage to be on the lower end of this range. Signal penetration through concrete structures can be challenging.
Range: 10-15 km
Suburban environments typically offer better coverage than urban areas due to fewer obstacles, though tree coverage and building placement can still affect signal quality.
Range: Up to 20 km
In open rural areas with minimal obstructions, LoRaWAN can achieve its longest ranges. Line-of-sight deployments can sometimes exceed 20 km.
Optimizing gateway positions can improve coverage by 40-60%. For multi-story buildings:
