!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] defines the communication [protocols] and system architecture for the [Network], while the [LoRa] [Physical Layer] enables the long-range [Transport Layer]. 

[{$pagename}] is also responsible for managing the:
* communication frequencies
* data rate
* power for all devices

[Devices] in the network use [Asynchronous Operation] and transmit when they have [data] available to send. Data transmitted by an end-node device are received by multiple [Gateways], which forward the data [Packets] to a centralized network server.

Data is then forwarded to [Application] servers. The technology shows high reliability for the moderate load, however, it has some performance issues related to sending acknowledgements

[{$pagename}] networks use an [ALOHA] based protocol, so end devices don’t need to peer with specific [gateways]. [Messages] sent from end devices travel through all [gateways] within range. These messages are received by the [Network] [Server]. If the Network Server has received multiple copies of the same message, it keeps a single copy of the message and discards others.
