Cisco LoRaWAN Solutions

Connect the unconnected.

Long-distance wireless connectivity for battery-powered IoT sensors

What is it?

Cisco's LoRaWAN-compliant solution connects IoT sensors and endpoints across both cities and rural areas, at low cost. Low power consumption extends battery life up to several years without being replaced.

Cisco’s LoRaWAN (long-range wide-area network) solution operates globally in unlicensed 800–900 MHz ISM bands. It is available as a stand-alone and as an integral part of the Cisco Industrial Asset Vision solution, which uses LoRaWAN sensors to improve business resiliency, safety, and efficiencies by monitoring equipment, people, and facilities.
