The Things Conference 2024 unites the LoRaWAN community on all facets of low-power IoT applications, with workshops highlighting the latest developments in the low-power, wide-area-networking (LPWAN) marketplace. The event’s Wall of Fame features products from over 100 partners, letting people touch, feel, and interact with hundreds of LoRaWAN-enabled devices and gateways.

LoRa is a low-power and highly effective way to connect sensors to the cloud for real-time transmission of data and analytics for smart IoT applications. The LoRaWAN open specification, a LPWAN standard that leverages the unlicensed radio spectrum in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band, is recognized by the International Telecommunication Union as an LPWAN standard.

The Things Network is a set of open tools with a worldwide network to address IoT applications securely and cost-effectively, using the Things Stack, a LoRaWAN Network Server that securely manages applications, end devices, and gateways. An open community of people, companies, governments, and universities are learning, experimenting, and building with The Things Stack to create LoRaWAN-based IoT solutions. Here are some of the latest products highlighted at the The Things Conference 2024:
