1.1 LoRa and LoRaWAN
A low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) is a type of wireless telecommunication
wide-area network designed to allow long-range communications at a low bit rate
between IoT devices, such as battery-operated sensors.
LPWAN offers multi-year battery lifetime and is designed for sensors and applica-
tions that need to send small amounts of data over long distances a few times per
hour from varying environments.
LoRa and LoRaWAN belong to the category of non-cellular LPWAN wireless commu-
nication network protocols that enable long-range data transmissions with low power
consumption, and operate in the license-free spectrum.
LoRa is a patented digital wireless data communication IoT technology. The technol-
ogy is presented in two parts — LoRa, the physical layer (PHY), and the communica-
tion protocol built upon the underlying LoRa physical layer. The communication layer
may be LoRaWAN, an open-source communication protocol defined by the LoRa
Alliance consortium.
The difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN is that LoRaWAN defines the commu-
nication protocol and system architecture for the network, while the LoRa physical
layer enables the long-range communication link.
1.2 WISE-4610 Feature Highlights
Advantech’s WISE-4610 LoRa wireless I/O module can be configured to support
either a public or private LoRa using the WISE Studio utility via a USB port.
For outdoor applications, WISE-4610 can be equipped with optional GPS, a solar
rechargeable battery, and an IP65-rated enclosure to protect from water and dust
ingress.
The WISE-4610 wireless I/O module features an intelligent modular design that sup-
ports various I/O configurations according to usage requirements. This allows users
to easily integrate their desired I/O module (WISE-S672/S614) with the WISE-4610
module.

2Hardware Installation

WISE-4610 User Manual 8
The wireless sensor nodes for WISE-4610, like those for all WISE-4000 series mod-
ules, are designed as separate units. The procedure for installing these nodes in the
module is explained in the following sections.
2.1 Modular Design
WISE-4610 features a modular design that supports various I/O configurations.
The benefit of a modular design is that the same wireless board can be leveraged by
different I/O modules via a board-to-board connector. This allows users to install two
I/O modules according to their specific usage requirements. Moreover, the modules
can be affixed to WISE-4610 using the six screws provided (as shown in Figure 2.1).
Figure 2.1 I/O Module Installation
Note! The recommended screw torque is 2.5 ~ 3.0 kgf/cm2.
