About us - LoRaVida

In the heart of the Peruvian Andes, where towering mountains meet the lush Amazon rainforest, LoRaVida is pioneering a new model for sustainable regional development. Our project blends cutting-edge communication technology, applied research, and traditional knowledge to create a self-sufficient ecosystem tailored to remote communities.

 

At its core, LoRaVida features a robust LoRa/Meshtastic communication network that functions without internet access—delivering life-saving information such as landslide warnings, medical emergency codes, and educational content to even the most isolated villages. This is complemented by a real-time environmental monitoring system that tracks climate data, water levels, and traffic conditions with high precision.

 

Our on-site research center explores climate-resilient agriculture, develops innovative energy systems, and demonstrates circular economy principles through our hands-on permaculture demo site. From day one, local communities are active participants—as co-creators, research partners, and future trainers.

 

LoRaVida is powered by a socially committed, tech-savvy, multicultural and gender-inclusive team. Our core group consists of Peruvian and German members—combining strong local ties with German engineering expertise. We draw from diverse fields such as mechatronics, climate technology, and geoinformatics, supported by independent partners from the fields of IT and software engineering. This interdisciplinary setup enables us to meet complex technical demands on the ground while designing scalable solutions for global application.

 

LoRaVida is not an external intervention, but a living development model rooted in the region—open, adaptable, and globally relevant. Our vision: technology that empowers, research that matters, and solutions that endure.
