LoRaWAN™ DIFFERENTIATORS
In 2018, the LoRa Alliance continued to strongly differentiate itself from competitive technologies
and helped raise awareness of where LPWAN technology fits in the broader communications
landscape.
These are the main differentiators for the LoRaWAN standard:
• New! Firmware updates over the air (FUOTA)
• Different network deployment models which give freedom of choice to B2B customers (public
and private networks)
• Already deployed connecting millions of end devices globally making it the most deployed
LPWAN technology as of today
• Open-source protocol is based on industry collaboration, allowing us to achieve a stronger
technology that is truly future-proof
• Strength and coverage in all key vertical markets with numerous, sustainable use cases and
documented ROI
