Table 2. Acronyms and abbreviations
In LoRaWAN® specifications before 1.1, JoinEUI was called AppEUI. See JoinEUI.
A device specific encryption key used during OTAA to derive both the Network Session Key and
Application Session Key.
Key is used to encrypt the messages to ensure confidentiality.
A 32 bit non-unique identifier, assigned by the network server during device activation
A 64 bit unique identifier for your device, set by the manufacturer.
A device with LoRaWAN® low power communication module
ST25DV's RAM mailbox used to accelerate the communication speed during the host MCU and the
NFC reader.
Gateways form the bridge between end devices and network servers. Devices use low power
®
networks like LoRa to connect to the Gateway, while the Gateway uses high bandwidth networks
like WiFi, Ethernet or cellular to connect to a network server.
Online dashboard.
InfluxDB is a high-speed read and write database used to store the LoRa
Internet of Things
The JoinEUI (formerly called AppEUI) is a 64 bit extended unique identifier used to identify the join
server during activation.
A join server is a component of the LoRaWAN® server defined in the LoRaWAN® back-end interfaces
that is used to store root keys, generate session keys, and to send those securely to the network
server and application server.
A modulation technology for long range wireless communication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa.
LoRaWAN® is a media access control (MAC) protocol for wide area networks. It is designed to allow
low-powered devices to communicate with internet connected applications over long range wireless
connections.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, publish-subscribe, machine to
machine network protocol for message queuing service.
Key used to ensure data integrity and authenticity.
This is the preferred and most secure way to connect a device to a LoRa
a join-procedure with the network, during which a dynamic Device Address is assigned and security
keys are negotiated with the device.
Open source server agent used to copy the LoRa
database.
The Things Network is a global collaborative Internet of Things ecosystem that creates networks,
devices, and solutions using LoRaWAN®
