LoRa, short for LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a network technique where sensor devices connect to gateways/hubs through radio frequency bands. LoRa enables long-range transmissions with low power consumption outside of the on-site WiFi network.

In general, https://spacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WM/pages/492666 can be described as this: LoRa sensors send data through a LoRa gateway to the LoRa Sensor Cloud, and Workplace picks up the data from that platform.

Broken down in smaller steps (More information on how this workflow is set up: https://spacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WM/pages/492237):

1. sensor data needs to be communicated to the gateway,

2. before entering the data cloud,

3. where it will be picked up by the Workplace platform,

4. where the data moves through Spacewell internal tools, before being stored in 15 minute time slots in the data warehouse,

5. so that it can be visualized on a Workplace touch point (GO, Workplace App, Kiosk App, ...).

6. Additionally, data moves through even more tools (overnight) before it's available in the Workplace Dashboards or in the Replay.
