Indoor LoRa Reliability Boosters

Key Questions

What are indoor LoRa reliability boosters?

Booster nodes are end-devices (about 15% of total devices) that improve indoor LoRaWAN gateway packet delivery ratio (PDR). They boost PDR from 62% to 95% by tackling propagation challenges. No new hardware is required, enhancing scalability.

How effective are booster nodes in improving indoor LoRa reliability?

Using 15% of devices as boosters increases gateway PDR from 62% to 95%. This addresses indoor propagation issues effectively. It supports reliable industrial and smart building IoT without additional infrastructure.

Why are booster nodes important for IoT scalability?

They maintain high PDR even as device density exceeds 200, preventing network decline. This is key for indoor industrial and smart building IoT. Boosters enable energy-efficient, reliable scaling without new hardware.
