Join Any LoRaWAN Network
Receive uplinks from your own gateways and network server, or from a managed network, by MQTT or HTTP integration.
Protocol Support
LoRa Integration
Receive LoRaWAN uplinks through your gateways, decode payloads into engineering units, and manage thousands of low-power sensors.
- Standard
- LoRaWAN (LoRa Alliance) on LoRa modulation, AS923 in Malaysia
- Medium
- Sub-GHz radio to a gateway, then IP backhaul
- Topology
- Star of stars: devices, gateways, network server
- Data Model
- Small uplink frames on a port, decoded by a payload decoder
What LoRa Is
LoRa is a radio modulation built for tiny messages over long distances at very low power. LoRaWAN adds the network layer on top: devices send uplinks that any gateway in range forwards to a network server. A sensor can run for years on a battery, but each message is only a few bytes, so a payload decoder is what turns them into temperature, level or door state.

How IoTServa Connects LoRa
Payload Decoders
Use a decoder per device model to turn raw bytes into named values, and keep one decoder for every identical sensor.
Battery and Signal Health
Track battery level, RSSI and SNR per device so a failing node is found before it goes silent.
Downlinks When Needed
Queue commands to Class A and Class C devices for settings and actuation, within airtime limits.
Typical Jobs
- Temperature and humidity across large sites
- Water, tank and pipe level monitoring
- Door, leak and occupancy sensors
- Agriculture and estates beyond Wi-Fi reach
Plan for These
Region matters. Malaysia uses AS923, so gateways and devices must be configured for it.
Airtime is regulated. Frequent uplinks shorten battery life and are limited by duty cycle rules.
Indoor and dense sites need gateway placement planned, not guessed.
LoRa Questions
Does IoTServa replace a LoRaWAN network server?
No. It receives data from your network server, or from the gateways you run, and handles everything after the radio.
Which LoRa region does IoTServa support?
IoTServa itself is region neutral. Your gateways and devices must use the region plan for where they operate, such as AS923 in Malaysia.
