LoRaWAN Glossary
Integrator terms for leak, level, soil, food temperature, and network servers— decoder profiles, payloads, and kit names in plain language.
ChirpStack
Open-source LoRaWAN network server. Particlesensing kits include decoder maps that can run on ChirpStack.
Decoder profile
A function that turns a LoRaWAN uplink payload into named fields (level, pressure, moisture, temperature) for your cloud or SCADA system.
EC (Electrical Conductivity)
Soil or solution conductivity used as a proxy for nutrient/salt content. The PS-410 kit reports moisture and EC.
Facility sensing
Leak, door, tank level, pipe flow, and pressure monitoring in plant rooms and commercial buildings.
Food-grade probe
A needle temperature sensor specified for food-contact process checks. See the PS-610 kit.
Gateway
A LoRaWAN base station that receives sensor uplinks and forwards them to a network server (TTN, ChirpStack, or private).
HACCP
Hazard analysis framework for food safety. LoRaWAN temperature logging supports records; it does not replace your HACCP plan.
LoRaWAN
Long-range, low-power wide-area network used by Particlesensing industrial sensor kits for facility, plant, farm, and food-chain sites.
Leak rope sensor
A cable that detects conductive liquid along its length. Used in plant rooms and bunds (PS-210).
OEM
Your brand on our hardware—logo, packaging, and manuals. Stock trial from 100 units; branding from 500.
ODM
Engineering changes to firmware, RF, or enclosures. Typical MOQ 1,000–2,000 units.
PAR
Photosynthetically active radiation. The PS-420 kit measures ambient light / PAR for greenhouse and field use.
Payload
The binary bytes sent on a LoRaWAN uplink. Decode with the kit decoder profile.
TTN (The Things Network)
A public LoRaWAN network. Kits ship with decoder examples compatible with TTN payload formatters.
