Report Title: Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN ® deployment synergies Issue Date: September 2019 Version: 1.0. final version 14 LoRa Alliance & Wireless Broadband Alliance Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2019 Figure 12 - HIS LPWA connection forecast As per IHS forecast, LoRaWAN ® is expected to represent more than 50% of IoT LPWA connections by 2021, confirming the current global market traction. 6 Market actors IoT challenges IoT is transforming end-customer business models. The main goal of IoT market leaders in the next two years is to SIMPLIFY the below process and decrease the lead-time for adoption and implementation. • Identify the problem to tackle and potential savings or additional revenue. • Identify and test potential IoT connectivity technologies while keeping in mind end-to-end integration (end devices, network, cloud integration, data management and data sharing with third parties). • Set-up technical, business and organization frameworks to meet return on investment. • Choose between make (private network) and buy (operator public network). • Secure the end-to-end communication and data through the devices <-> access/core networks <- > application services. • Benefit from Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN ® complementarity by making convergent products (hardware and software). For example: collect data via LoRaWAN ® on Access Points (performs the role of the IoT connector) from many devices around in building and transmit data via Wi-Fi to network servers. 0 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 600,000 700,000 800,000 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Chart Title Other LTE NB-IoT LTE LTE-M LoRaWAN™ Sigfox LPWA public connection forecast, by technology, global market, 2014 - 2021 Source: IHS © 2019 IHS (thousands of units)
