WHERE DOES LPWAN FIT?
One technology cannot serve all of the projected applications and volumes for IoT.
WiFi and BTLE are widely adopted standards and serve the applications related to
communicating personal devices quite well. Cellular technology is a great fit for
applications that need high data throughput and have a power source. LPWAN offers
multi-year battery lifetime and is designed for sensors and applications that need to
send small amounts of data over long distances a few times per hour from varying
environments
