INTRODUCTION
LoRaWAN™ infrastructure provides a geolocation
solution for low-power wide-area networks
(LPWANs), enabling a wide range of applications
requiring location determination for battery-
powered endpoints. The geolocation functionality is
supported by any existing LoRaWAN end-devices,
eliminating additional cost and requiring no
additional processing power.
AUDIENCE
The audience for this whitepaper is LoRaWAN
service providers, enterprises and end-device
manufacturers intending to develop applications
leveraging LoRaWAN geolocation capabilities. This
paper will describe the technical capabilities of
LoRaWAN geolocation, highlight application use
cases that are suited to LoRaWAN geolocation, and
provide several deployment case studies.
