How Point-to-Point LoRa Replaces Expensive 4-20mA Current Loop Wiring in Industrial Applications
Introduction In industrial settings—especially oilfields, water treatment plants, and manufacturing facilities—4-20mA current loopshave long been the standard for transmitting sensor data (pressure, temperature, flow). However, trenching and running wires for these loops is expensive, time-consuming, and inflexible. Point-to-point LoRa wireless technology offers a cost-effective, reliable, and scalable alternative to wired 4-20mA loops. Unlike proprietary high-reliability radios (which are prohibitively expensive) or WiFi (which lacks range and interference resistance), LoRa provides long-range, low-power, interference-free communication at a fraction of the cost.
