In the previous tutorial, we discussed various short-range wireless Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Zigbee Mesh, Z-Wave, Thread, NFC, RFID, and IR. These short-range technologies are useful for setting up Personal Area Networks (PANs), Home Area Networks (HANs), and Local Area Networks (LANs). These networks often provide high-bandwidth, high-speed connectivity, allowing smart devices…

In the previous tutorial, we discussed different types of Internet of Things (IoT) networks, with a particular focus on M2M networks. We also explored various IoT network topologies. These networks can be categorized based on their coverage area and application. Understanding this categorization is essential for determining effective deployment strategies. When planning the physical setup…

In previous tutorials, we discussed the architecture and network topologies of the Internet of Things (IoT). Architecture refers to the layered design that defines how IoT devices, networks, and platforms interact to collect, process, and exchange data. Topology, on the other hand, describes how IoT devices are physically or logically connected within a network. IoT…

This article explains how to establish secure communication between two LoRa end-node devices using Lora E5 mini boards. LoRa, which stands for “long range,” is a wireless technology with the ability to send small amounts of data over large distances. Two end-node devices can exchange encrypted messages. The transmitting device encrypts the message before sending…
