LoRaWAN® enables low-power, long-range wireless communication—but operating in unlicensed spectrum means each region follows slightly different rules. To ensure interoperability and compliance, the LoRa Alliance® defines Regional Parameters that adapt the protocol to each geographic area.
The LoRa Alliance® maintains and regularly updates the official LoRaWAN Regional Parameters Specification.
“Regional Parameters are essential to turning LoRaWAN from a local protocol into a truly global technology. At Actility, we’ve embedded this complexity into the core of ThingPark, so our customers can deploy their networks compliantly — without compromising on performance.“
These specifications include:
Each region must balance coverage, interference mitigation, and regulatory compliance.
| Plan ID | Band | Region | Common Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EU863–870 | Europe | EU868 |
| 2 | US902–928 | North America | US915 |
| 3 | CN779–787 | China | CN779 |
| 4 | EU433 | Europe | EU433 |
| 5 | AU915–928 | Australia | AU915 |
| 6 | CN470–510 | China | CN470 |
| 7 | AS923-1 | Asia-Pacific | AS923-1 |
| 10 | KR920–923 | South Korea | KR920 |
| 11 | IN865–867 | India | IN865 |
| 12 | RU864–870 | Russia | RU864 |
Some countries support more than one plan (e.g., NL supports EU868 & EU433).
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| RX1 Delay | 1 second |
| RX2 Delay | 2 seconds |
| Join Accept Delay 1 | 5 seconds |
| Join Accept Delay 2 | 6 seconds |
These values can be fine-tuned per application and region.
While the LoRa Alliance defines baseline parameters, operators like Actility may adapt:
At Actility, our ThingPark platform supports compliant and adaptive configuration for each region.
Deploying LoRaWAN globally means dealing with:
Actility simplifies this through automated region detection and remote configuration management via ThingPark.
 With Actility’s ThingPark platform, you can deploy anywhere—compliantly and confidently.
