**LoRa** is a **wireless modulation technique** derived from **Chirp Spread Spectrum** (CSS) technology. CSS uses wideband linear frequency modulated chirp pulses to encode information. It can operate on the following license-free sub-gigahertz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) bands: **433 MHz**, **868 MHz**, and **915 MHz**. ISM bands are internationally reserved for industrial, scientific and, medical uses.

The Arduino® [Edge Control](https://store.arduino.cc/products/arduino-edge-control), a remote monitoring and control solution optimized for outdoor environments, can expand its wireless connectivity capabilities by adding an MKR WAN 1300 or 1310 board. Edge Control can be positioned anywhere and is well suited for smart agriculture and other applications that require intelligent control in remote locations.
You can use several Arduino libraries with the CMCMWX1ZZABZ LoRa® module from Murata®; we recommend two: The [MKRWAN library](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/MKRWAN), developed by Arduino, and the [Arduino LoRa](https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-LoRa) library, developed by Sandeep Mistry. The MKRWAN and the Arduino LoRa libraries provide you the APIs to communicate with networks that support LoRa technology.

You can use both libraries in the Arduino IDE, [online](https://store.arduino.cc/digital/create) and [offline](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software). If you are using the online IDE, you don't need to do anything, both libraries are already installed and ready to be used. If you are using the offline IDE, you must install the libraries manually. Installing libraries can be done easily by navigating to **Tools > Manage Libraries...** and then look for **MKRWAN** library by Arduino and **LoRa** by Sandeep Mistry; **remember to install the latest version of the libraries**.
