***Long range:** Up to 3 miles (4.8 km) in urban areas and up to 10 miles (16 km) or more in rural areas with line of sight.
33
-
***Low power:** LoRa transceivers can run on small, inexpensive batteries for several years.
34
-
***Low cost:** Lightweight protocols reduce complexity in hardware design and lower device costs. Its range and network topology reduce expensive infrastructure requirements, and the use of license-free or licensed bands reduce network costs.
35
-
***Coverage anywhere:** Use exiting open-source networks or set up your own gateways.
36
-
***Large-scale deployments:** A gateway can support thousands of nodes, depending on the uplink frequency.
