This document describes the deployment schema of VeeaHub meshes in the context of a LoRaWAN based solution.
Introduction
LoRaWAN
The LoRaWAN® specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery operated ‘things’ to the internet in regional, national or global networks, and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localization services.

Veea Edge
The Veea Edge Platform offers a unified solution that integrates connectivity, communications, and computing at the edge. Veea's innovative Edge Computing solution unifies several essential technologies into one comprehensive platform. This platform simplifies installation, integration and operations while providing a centralized view and easier management of your network.
The VeeaHub family offers a variety of options to meet your solution needs for both indoor and outdoor applications. All VeeaHubs share a combination of multi-application processing, storage, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, vMesh/vBus support and multiple IoT connectivity options. Different VeeaHub models can be combined across the same mesh, allowing you to add different capabilities to your edge network exactly where needed. And all VeeaHubs include VeeaWare software with access to our cloud-based Edge Management tools, making deployment, operation and management of your edge networks and applications easy.
LoRaWAN integrated in VeeaHubs
With its LoRa edge hubs, Veea provides an all-in-one-box solution for a complete LoRaWAN deployment on one site. Where it usually requires one or multiple LoRa Gateways, a local network to support those gateways and a local or cloud solution for the LoRa Server, Veea offers everything in one box along with the ability to easily expand LoRa coverage through the unique Veea Mesh technology.
Everything has been designed for a Plug&Play solution. Once the LoRa coverage area has been defined on a site, one just has to deploy the number of LoRa Veeahubs to ensure complete coverage. All those hubs will be meshed together and will enable a single LoRa network interface to manage all the local LoRa devices.
Available for all LoRa regions, the country-specific integration ensures the full compatibility with local regulations and LoRa devices.
