The technologies used for IoT are infested with numerous problems. We are currently experiencing a deluge in the number of connected devices and it will only continue to surge. As such, there is a need to employ a technology that overcomes these shortcomings. LoRaWAN (or Long Range Wide Area Network) which is an LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technology has been recently gaining a lot of attention as its features are best suited to IoT networks. It leverages a low data rate to optimise battery consumption. Besides this, LoRaWAN uses an unlicensed spectrum, advancing research. In this paper, we will study how LoRaWAN supersedes other technologies using the network deployed for our remote weather assistant. For the purpose of experimentation, we have deployed a LoRaWAN node (which acts as the remote weather station) and a LoRaWAN gateway, which will be used to study the traffic parameters. These parameters will be compared with the rest of the technologies.
