Report Title: Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN ® deployment synergies Issue Date: September 2019 Version: 1.0. final version 46 LoRa Alliance & Wireless Broadband Alliance Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2019 for data processing and remote monitoring of technological process parameters. At the same time, the distance from the base station of the LoRaWAN ® network, built by the operator, to the well was 15 km, and the distance from the well to the mining company's base was 100 km. The pilot project allowed reducing the accident rate up to 12% by identifying recurring events, as well as reducing losses up to 8% by reducing the time to resolve the incident. The sensors on the LoRaWAN ® network worked stably both in winter and in summer. Connexin (UK): Smart City Connexin has rolled out LoRaWAN ® macro-cells leveraging a variety of backhaul technologies to provide deep LoRaWAN ® coverage across UK communities supporting demanding use cases such as Smart Water Metering. Broadly speaking the LoRaWAN ® macro-cells have been rolled out at in two different types of locations. Locations where we have an existing presence are the easiest to roll out in. LoRaWAN ® is layered on top of our existing networks that support services such as Wi-Fi, with the gateways' utilising existing power and connectivity. In the most challenging locations where the availability of power and traditional connectivity cannot be guaranteed, to ensure the robust delivery of LoRaWAN ® connectivity we have utilised dual SIM Cellular connectivity ensuring that in the event of an MNO outage we still have backhaul connectivity for our macro-cells. Furthermore, we have developed our own internal battery-backed power supply unit that can provide power to a macro-cell for up to 7 days in the event of a mains power failure. This degree of high reliability is driven by demand from the utility providers for guaranteed regular meter readings and high SLAs. LoRaWAN ® Smart Water Metering drives several behaviours including: • Centrally collecting all the meter reading data and eliminating the requirement for drive-by metering allowing for more frequent meter reading and reducing operational costs. • Providing real-time insights on water usage driving customer behaviour to better utilise resources. • Building a network of sensors to detect water leakage - in the UK over 3.1 billion litres of water are lost from utility networks every day. So far Connexin has deployed LoRaWAN ® networks supporting this use case for several DMAs (District Metered Area) across the UK and we are intending to roll this technology out nationwide. Calgary: building a foundation for pervasive connectivity [33] The city of Calgary information technology (IT) business unit has achieved its long-term vision for a connected city. Over the past 20 years, it has acted as a comprehensive development plan to build a critical communication infrastructure with a goal to improve city services. This was accomplished, in part, by connecting as many of the city assets as possible, including staff, buildings, streetlights, fleet vehicles, cameras and traffic controllers using an expansive fiber optic network, and variety of wireless solutions. The city owns 10 radio towers, which are connected through the MPLS network. On these towers, the city implemented a broadband fixed wireless network. Wi-Fi access points were also installed at many traffic intersections. This private wireless telecommunication network provides coverage and data transfer for public safety organizations, water, transit, camera monitoring, and
