\begin{itemize}
\item Developed by \textbf{Semtech} (originally by Cycleo)\\
\hspace{0.3 cm}\textbf{Note:} parts of the PHY layer are \textbf{proprietary}!
\item Frequency: \textbf{868 MHz} \textbf{SRD} band (in the EU)
\item \textbf{25 mW} transmission power 
\item Bandwidth: \textbf{125} to \textbf{500 kHz}
\item Data rate between \textbf{250 Bit/sec} and 21 \textbf{kBit/sec} \\
\hspace{0.3 cm}\textbf{BUT}: not made for a lot of data
\item Low cost: \textbf{$\sim $10 EUR} CAPEX (for nodes), almost no OPEX
\item Low power: devices can last \textbf{years on battery}
\item Long distance: up to \textbf{10 km} range

\item Controlling lights in your house - check out ZigBee or BlueTooth
\item Sending photos, watching Netflix - check out WiFi

For testing you can use the following device addresses and keys:
\begin{itemize}
\item 
\textbf{nwkSKey}
\begin{python}
 9D 95 0F AB CB 63 D3 04 BC 09 C4 9E C5 DF 3C 37
\end{python}
\item \textbf{appSKey}
\begin{python}
 C9 6C 00 D1 B0 1C 2E 42 11 BA 32 6F 2F C2 75 6A
\end{python}
\item \textbf{devAddr} (choose one):
\begin{python}
  1:  26 01 16 5C		10:  26 01 1A CE
  2:  26 01 18 52		11:  26 01 12 F1
