The LoRaWAN open standard is a low power, wide area networking (LPWAN) protocol designed
to wirelessly connect battery operated 'things' to the internet. LoRaWAN is cost-effective to
implement and easy to scale; adding LoRaWAN to other technologies can protect earlier
investments and create new possibilities for scalable solutions.
