Selection guide
Choose a LoRaWAN sensor by measurement task
Begin with what must be measured, then verify the installation, radio, power and data requirements before selecting a device.
Installation
Check the enclosure, IP rating, mounting method, temperature exposure and the sensing element's placement.
Radio plan
Confirm the deployment country, supported frequency plan, network type and gateway coverage.
Power and reporting
Set the reporting interval, alert policy and retry behavior; battery life is configuration-dependent.
Data path
Document payload fields, units, decoder version, target platform and operational alert flow.
Field validation
Use the current product specification and datasheet, then validate the selected configuration at a representative site.
From device data to an operational interface
Willow Software combines hardware, embedded firmware, backend services and web or mobile interfaces. The exact scope is defined for each product and project.

Frequently Asked
Questions about LoRaWAN sensors.
Answers to the most common questions about selecting, deploying and integrating LoRaWAN sensors.
What is a LoRaWAN sensor?
A LoRaWAN sensor is a low-power wireless device that measures a physical value — level, pressure, temperature, location or a digital event — and transmits it over long range using the LoRaWAN protocol, typically through a gateway and then a network server.
How do I choose the right LoRaWAN sensor for my application?
Start with the measurement task and expected range, then check the installation environment, enclosure rating, supported frequency plan and reporting interval before comparing battery life and price.
What determines LoRaWAN range in the field?
Range depends on the frequency plan, gateway placement, antenna height, obstacles and local radio conditions — not the sensor alone. Consult the current product specification for typical figures.
How long does a LoRaWAN sensor's battery last?
Battery life is configuration-dependent: it varies with reporting interval, radio conditions, sensor type and power settings. Check each product's current specification for its tested range.
Can Willow Software LoRaWAN sensors be integrated with a dashboard or existing platform?
Yes. They can be paired with LoRaWAN payload decoding, backend ingestion, PostgreSQL schemas, dashboards, alerts and mobile workflows, or evaluated as standalone hardware.
