This document provides an overview of LoRaWAN, including what it is, why it is used, and how to create applications with it. LoRaWAN uses the LoRa modulation scheme and a star topology to enable long range, low power communication between wireless devices and gateways. It provides security, network scalability, and allows for device updates. To use LoRaWAN, a developer needs a LoRa enabled node, access to a LoRaWAN gateway, a subscription to a backend service, and the ability to view dashboards and manage devices. The document also outlines some next steps like using LoRaWAN for UN sustainability goals and implementing over the top services.
