BLE – Bluetooth Low Energy and BLE Mesh
Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances, from fixed and mobile devices to building personal area networks (PANs). It is one of the most used wireless data exchange networks in the world and is an expected feature of devices.
LoRa(WAN) – LoRa, LongFi, LoRa Mesh
LoRa is a Low Power Wide Area Network, a great network to use for your IoT projects. It has gateways far and wide and the LoRa Alliance, who created and maintain the network, has thriving community of enthusiasts. LoRa is used by lots of platforms. LoRa uses license-free sub Gigahertz radio frequency bands like 169 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (North America). Read more here.
LoRa application and network server services are available through the Pycom Device Cloud.
Pycom offers a LoRa Mesh is called Pymesh and this is available on all LoRa enabled hardware platforms as well as through our and our partner Device Cloud platforms. There are many companies offering Private shared or Public LoRa networks. Here are a few:
- Helium Network works on LongFi
- TTN Network is a global collaborative Internet of Things ecosystem that works on LoRaWAN
- Senet
Cellular Cat-NB1 (NB-IoT) and Cat M1
Cellular network SIMs
