Section titled “Concept”AWS IoT Wireless (part of IoT Core) connects devices on long-range, low-power wireless networks like LoRaWAN and Amazon Sidewalk to the cloud. In LoRaWAN, devices send signals to a nearby gateway, and the gateway passes them on to AWS. AWS itself provides the server part that runs this network as a managed service. Amazon Sidewalk is a shared network from Amazon that works through devices like Echo. The data that arrives can be sent to other AWS services using IoT Core rules.
