Energy-efficient LPWAN for the IoT
LoRaWAN® (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a license-free, energy-efficient wireless protocol designed for long-range communication. Based on the LoRa® modulation technology, it is ideally suited for the Internet of Things (IoT), where low data rates, long battery lifetimes, and reliable transmission are crucial.
The LoRaWAN® network architecture is based on a Star-of-Stars topology, where gateways act as intermediaries between end devices and a central network server. By leveraging the license-free Sub-GHz ISM band (e.g., 868 MHz in Europe), LoRaWAN® enables communication over several kilometers—ideal for applications such as smart metering, asset tracking, and smart cities.
LoRaWAN® supports bidirectional communication and provides end-to-end encryption for secure data transmission. Networks can be deployed flexibly—either as private infrastructures or by connecting to public LoRaWAN® networks. Since LoRaWAN® is built on patents held by Semtech Corporation, compatible radio modules from Semtech or its licensed partners are required for implementation.

STACKFORCE offers scalable, high-performance LoRaWAN® solutions tailored to different requirements.
We are a LoRa Alliance Member.
STACKFORCE is one of the pioneering technology providers behind LoRaWAN®. As early as 2015, we contributed to the development of the first open-source stack – LoRaMac-node. Building on this foundation, we created the first and so far only fully commercial LoRaWAN® stack.
This independence from open-source solutions ensures long-term viability: our commercial LoRaWAN® stack for end devices is actively maintained, continuously developed, and supported through long-term support and maintenance contracts – ideal for industrial applications with long product life cycles.
Our close collaboration with the OMS® Group also ensures interoperability, particularly in smart metering. The OMS® Group (Open Metering System Group), founded in 2015, developed a standardized data format to guarantee interoperability between different meter manufacturers. Based on M-Bus, OMS® provides an interoperable communication protocol – including certified test procedures to ensure compatibility.
With STACKFORCE, you’re not only choosing an innovative technology but also a reliable partner who ensures the stability and future readiness of your IoT investments.
