Nice to meet you, I have heard about a network for IoT called “WI-SUN”. What’s differences between it and LoRa ?. which one is better ? ---

Hard to compare them really, LoRa is not a network, its a point to point technology. Maybe you meant LoRaWAN ? And if you did mean LoRaWAN, what is the context or environement or application or location where one system might be ‘better’ than the other ? ---

Looks to be plenty of content comparing wireless protocols. Not sure the TTN community forum is the best place to find the answers you are looking for. Wisun appears similar to zigbee? The comparison of zigbee to lorawan may be of interest then. > **[Comparison of Wireless Technologies: Bluetooth, WiFi, BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave,...](https://predictabledesigns.com/wireless_technologies_bluetooth_wifi_zigbee_gsm_lte_lora_nb-iot_lte-m/)** > > Deciding what type of wireless technology your new product should use can be an overwhelming task.

Thank you for your support and information. What I’m looking for is Which one of them better in term of message size (payload),coverage,and less delay. ---

I hadn’t realised that the OP’s Google skills hadn’t been exercised. As there is this more-than-slightly biased report: [https://wi-sun.org/wp-content/uploads/WiSUN-Alliance-Comparing-IoT-Networks-2019-Nov-A4.pdf](https://wi-sun.org/wp-content/uploads/WiSUN-Alliance-Comparing-IoT-Networks-2019-Nov-A4.pdf) on the WI-SUN site …
