Members Airgain, GNS, OrbiWise, OrionM2M, TrackNet and Ubicquia to Demonstrate
Real-Life Applications in Key Vertical Markets
LAS VEGAS – Jan. 04, 2018 – The LoRa Alliance™, the global association of companies backing
the open LoRaWAN™ standard for Internet of Things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks
(LPWANs), announced that it will showcase the latest member products and applications
leveraging the open LoRaWAN standard at CES 2018. The LoRaWAN protocol is seeing rapid
global deployment and adoption due to the technology's inherent advantages for IoT
applications: low power, long range, highly secure, cost effective and easy to deploy.
"LoRaWAN's rapidly expanding global network footprint and decreasing cost of
chipsets/modules are starting to pay rich dividends with a growing ecosystem of products and
services. As the LPWAN market matures, the technology's simplicity and low connectivity costs
will not only be an important competitive differentiator but also a crucial enabler of new IoT
use-cases in B2B and B2B2C markets in 2018," said Adarsh Krishnan, senior analyst at ABI
Research.
"The LoRaWAN approach offers a very compelling business model for IoT applications," said
Geoff Mulligan, chairman of the LoRa Alliance. "Developed as a fully open standard, it can be
deployed in public, private or hybrid networks, delivering maximum flexibility. With a 100
percent increase in LoRaWAN network coverage and a stunning 176 percent increase in
LoRaWAN-certified products in the marketplace over the past year, the LoRaWAN standard is
extremely well-positioned to be the technology of choice for LPWAN applications."
