CAN Bus to LoRaWAN
CAN bus carries rich data in generators, vehicles and machinery. Where the application allows, selected CAN signals can be filtered at the edge and sent over LoRaWAN.
- What problem do we solve?
- CAN networks produce far more data than LoRaWAN can carry, so an engineered selection of signals is essential.
- How do we solve it?
- MatrixAI engineers the CAN bus → LoRaWAN (where applicable) conversion — device audit, converter selection, mapping, decoding and commissioning.
- What technologies do we use?
- CAN, LoRaWAN, network server codecs, MQTT / REST
- What can we integrate?
- IoT platforms, BMS, CAFM, SCADA, billing and cloud services

FAQ
CAN integration questions
Can LoRaWAN carry full CAN traffic?
No. LoRaWAN is suited to periodic summaries and alarms. For full-rate CAN logging we recommend cellular or IP connectivity.
