n today’s rapidly evolving Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, achieving interoperability between devices, ensuring data security, minimizing power consumption, and reducing deployment costs have become key industry concerns. LoRaWAN, as a standardized wireless communication protocol, is gaining widespread adoption across smart cities, industrial monitoring, agriculture, and environmental sensing due to its advantages in low-power, long-range connectivity and open ecosystem [3].
Manthink’s SE72 hygrometer is a high-performance wireless sensing device built on the LoRaWAN protocol. It can seamlessly connect to mainstream LoRaWAN network servers (NS) such as TTN and ChirpStack, offering users a more flexible, secure, and efficient deployment experience.
Why Can LoRaWAN Devices Connect Across Platforms?
LoRaWAN is a standardized communication protocol developed by the LoRa Alliance. It defines the communication rules at the MAC layer, including device joining (Join), data transmission, Adaptive Data Rate (ADR), channel switching, and time synchronization [4]. This standardization brings the following benefits:
- Interoperability: LoRaWAN end-devices, gateways, and network servers from different vendors can work together seamlessly, avoiding the “silo” issues of proprietary protocols.
- Data Security: The protocol uses dual-layer AES-128 encryption to protect both the MAC and application layers, ensuring secure data transmission [4].
- Flexible Deployment: Supports multi-channel and multi-frequency concurrent processing, with up to 49 channel matching capabilities, making it suitable for complex network environments [4].
- Power Optimization: Through the ADR (Adaptive Data Rate) mechanism, the network server can dynamically adjust the communication rate and transmission power of end-devices, achieving the best balance between power consumption and communication range [4].
SE72 Hygrometer: Intelligent Sensing with Standardized Protocol
The SE72 is a wireless temperature and humidity sensor that fully complies with the LoRaWAN standard protocol. Its key features include:
- High-Precision Measurement: Uses a digital temperature and humidity sensor to ensure accurate and stable data acquisition.
- Ultra-Long Battery Life: Supports up to 8 years of battery life, ideal for remote, unattended deployments.
- IP65 Protection Rating: Offers excellent dust and water resistance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
- Flexible Configuration: Users can easily set sampling and reporting intervals via handheld devices or management platforms. The default reporting interval is every 0.5 hours.
- Seamless Integration with LoRaWAN Platforms: Thanks to its full compliance with the LoRaWAN protocol stack, SE72 can effortlessly connect to popular LoRaWAN network servers such as TTN, ChirpStack, and LORIOT without requiring additional protocol conversion or gateway adaptation [2].
Why Choose SE72?
Deploying non-standard LoRa devices in private or cross-platform networks often leads to the following issues:
- Poor Compatibility: Devices from different vendors cannot coexist, limiting system scalability.
- Weak Data Security: Proprietary protocols often lack encryption, making them vulnerable to eavesdropping or tampering.
- High Maintenance Costs: Lack of unified management platforms makes device configuration and upgrades complex.
As a LoRaWAN-compliant device, SE72 solves these problems effectively:
- Standardized Protocol Ensures Compatibility: Can connect to any LoRaWAN gateway and NS platform.
- Encrypted Communication Ensures Data Security: AES128 encryption ensures secure data transmission.
- Flexible Access to Open Source and Commercial Platforms: Supports TTN, ChirpStack, and ThinkLink LoRaWAN NS (Manthink’s self-developed network server, offering free access for up to 1000 devices) [5].
