Buena elección de curso, muy completo y conforme se avanza, se ve por qué lo explicado previamente era necesario para lo siguiente
By Herouini Wissal on 2/16/2025
Good course overall. I know it's focused on LoRa and LoRaWAN and not the IoT systemes, but I was hoping for a small example to help me know where to begin my PFE project on predicting bee hive behavior.
By Stephen Roberts on 2/3/2025
Its a good course. I think most important up to section 8, the rest are not as important to but I could see it for others. I just wanted to know about LoRaWAN in general, not setting up a server on a platform that I'll never use. I'm an embedded engineer, so my focus is more at the packet level to the physical layer. Good course, I've gotten it for all my team members working on a LoRaWAN product.

La qualité de la formation a dépassé toutes mes attentes. Les interventions des formateurs ont été remarquables par leur clarté, leur pertinence et leur profondeur. Leur expertise et leur pédagogie ont su rendre les concepts complexes accessibles et intéressants. Merci encore pour cette expérience enrichissante et pour le temps et l'énergie investis dans notre apprentissage. J'ai hâte de mettre en pratique tout ce que j'ai appris.

Until now it's been good... not good, breat. Content is clear, time to time is difficult to understand the english speaking 'cause the accent, but I am really happy with this course (CC helps a lot). I have read before about LoRa and LoRaWAN but this time has been the best form the learning perspective. Their pedagogical approach is an excelent fit to me. I feel now really confident about LoRaWAN topics.
By Alioune Balde on 4/28/2024
yeah, it help me a lot to understand much more in lora transmission. It's a good start for newbies in LoRa
By Younos Nazarian on 11/25/2023
Fantastic course! The creators really outdid themselves, presenting everything from LoRa basics to IoT platform setup in a clear, practical way. The demos made even the tough stuff easy to grasp. If you're into low-power networks, this course is a goldmine of practical know-how and expert tips. I also reviewed their free books, they are great to delve deeper into stuff.

Very good course, everything you need to know for starting with LoRaWAN is very well explained by Sylvain. And if you want to go further, I highly recommend you the IoT & LoRaWAN training by Savoie Mont Blanc University, with real hardware and always good teachers.
By Hugo Jorge Müller on 9/15/2023
El curso ha superado ampliamente mis espectativas, tanto por su completitud, simplicidad en las explicaciones, claridad y calidad del contenido. Con un enfoque marcadamente práctico, permite al alumno de inmediato, comprobar la teoría desarrollada en base a simples y muy bien guiados ejemplos prácticos. Un curso que cualquier interesado en profundizar o arrancar con la tecnología LoRaWAN debe hacer sin dudas.
By Rafael Sanchis on 8/13/2023
Creo que ha faltado un resumen inicial explicando el protocolo LoRa y LoRaWAN y sus diferencias, aunque luego lo explica todo detalladamente y al final una parte práctica
