Functionality:
The VE.Direct LoRaWAN module acts as a radio transmitter, relaying vital information about your Victron installation to nearby Internet of Things (IoT) gateways. The module can operate within a range of approximately 2km in urban areas and up to 30km in rural locations.

Operating within 'The Things Network' infrastructure, users can verify coverage in their area and extend the IoT network by setting up new gateways. Though free to use, LoRaWAN operates with limited bandwidth, resulting in data transmissions occurring once per hour or less frequently for less critical data (e.g., once every 24 hours).

Typical Use Cases:
Monitoring electric hire boats in harbor areas with LoRaWAN coverage to ensure proper charging overnight.
Tracking forklifts within smaller areas for comprehensive monitoring.
Utilizing the module for autonomous devices like feeding robots on farms or pods at airports.
Deploying mobile road-side information displays in construction areas, consolidating data transmission via a single LoRaWAN router.
Adapting for applications in fish farm feeding pens and other innovative scenarios.
