Report Title: Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN ® deployment synergies Issue Date: September 2019 Version: 1.0. final version 45 LoRa Alliance & Wireless Broadband Alliance Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2019 • Decide to collocate LoRaWAN ® networks server with Wi-Fi service controllers (or not) to have the opportunity to meet low latency and save back-haul cost. • Mutualize traffic back-haul on the same back-bone (fiber optics…) which leads to locate LoRaWAN ® Gateways on traffic concentration points. • Mutualized monitoring traffic. • Use or not Access Points as a LoRaWAN ® Gateway backhaul depending on level of target SLA. 11 Testimonials for actors deploying LoRaWAN ® and Wi-Fi This section shows real implementations of leading Wi-Fi players having deployed LoRaWAN ® in one or multiple verticals. ER-Telecom: Smart Region Project (Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Region) [30] The first IoT network deployed in Yekaterinburg will become the basis for the implementation of services within the Smart Region project. Currently, ER-Telecom LoRaWAN ® network covers a significant part of the city. A pilot deployment of IoT solutions is being prepared for resource-supplying organizations, new residential areas and industrial enterprises. The main areas of industrial Internet of things are the energy efficiency of housing and utilities and resource supplying organizations, site monitoring, transport telemetry, interactive urban environment, smart parking. ER-Telecom: Smart City Project (St. Petersburg) [31] More than 70 base stations with indoor and outdoor coverage are already located in St. Petersburg. Each station is capable of receiving signals from 3 million sensors. Now the company together with the state unitary enterprise "Lensvet" is testing "smart lamps". The pilot project is designed for six months to work out all possible situations. Today we already can say that the replacement of ordinary city lamps with the solution offered by ER-Telecom will provide energy savings and operating costs up to 50%. IoT network covers more than 50 cities of Russia, including St. Petersburg, and by the end of 2018 the number of such cities should exceed 60. ER-Telecom Holding has already launched pilot projects on the Internet of things in the oil, agricultural and energy sectors. ER-Telecom: IoT in oil and gas industry [32] ER-Telecom recently successfully completed the first pilot of industrial IoT technologies implementation. Pilot project took a year: during this time, a subsidiary of ER-Telecom Holding, LLC Prestige-Internet (Enforta trademark), has digitized a number of "Volgodemin-oil" wells based on IoT environment using LoRaWAN ® technology and a cloud platform working with data "AVlST.Operation" which was developed by the Russian group of companies ITPS. ER-Telecom has equipped an oil well with IoT sensors. The sensors transmitted the main technological parameters from the equipment (well and automatic group metering installation) to the base station LoRaWAN ® , then to the cloud platform
