Report Title: Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN ® deployment synergies Issue Date: September 2019 Version: 1.0. final version 35 LoRa Alliance & Wireless Broadband Alliance Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2019 • Increase indoor coverage performance. • Increase capacity by reducing inter-cell collisions. Semtech / Comcast carried out a meaningful experimentation in Philadelphia and concluding than over densifying a LoRaWAN ® Network increases Quality of Service (QoS) while scaling-up capacity [27]. • Reduce device to gateway distance and significantly reduce battery consumption and expand device lifetime thus reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). • Improve accuracy of Network based location services. Last but not least, domestic roaming is a unique powerful lever to aggregate and complement or densify all four types of networks, optimizing the network costs. Leverage LoRaWAN ® macro and indoor Wi-Fi network layers to meet full coverage Figure 20 - Limitation in macro site roll-out (Source: Siradel Engie) Here above, we can see an insightful network sizing study made by SIRADEL - leader in radio planning solutions for carriers and private companies - on New York City business case in the 800 MHz unlicensed band. The study aims to evaluate the network cost (number of required sites or Gateways) to meet specific population coverage targets for light indoor and deep indoor service objectives. On the above figure, the radio simulation shows that we need 500 macro sites to cover 95 % of population with a light
