® 17 END OF YEAR REPORT 2024 Approved for distribution outside of the LoRa Alliance ® ® EXPANDING HORIZONS: EDUCATING THE MARKET NTN LoRaWAN ® : Expanding Connectivity Beyond Terrestrial Limits LoRaWAN technology reached new heights in 2024 by en- abling seamless communication with low earth orbit (LEO), medium earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. LoRaWAN's Long Range Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (LR-FHSS) delivers reliable, secure connections in even the most remote areas, including maritime and logistics operations, natural resource monitoring, and underserved regions. With more satellites in orbit, 2024 has been a year of NTN growth and deployments, further expanding the reach and capability of LoRaWAN technology. Key Benefits: 1. Global roaming capabilities 2. Easy integration into existing IoT systems keeps costs low. 3. Robust, wide-ranging connectivity for essential applications especially in remote areas LoRaWAN ® NETWORK SERVER END USERS END USERS Terrestrial Gateway GROUND STATION COLLECT / AMPLIFY LoRaWAN ® TRAFFIC LoRaWAN ® NETWORK SERVER ROAMING HUB NTN LoRaWAN ® : EXPANDING CONNECTIVITY BEYOND TERRESTRIAL LIMITS LoRaWAN ® is a mark under license from the LoRa Alliance ® .

FLEXIBLE AND AVAILABLE ● LoRaWAN ® allows for terrestrial, satellite or hybrid networks ● Same LoRa ® chipsets ● LEO, MEO and GEO satellite options ● Easily integrated with already-deployed IoT systems and applications ● Global roaming INFRASTRUCTURE BENEFITS ● Low-cost battery-powered devices connect directly to satellite networks ● High capacity with LR-FHSS ● Low power: Satellite connectivity does not impact device power consumption ● Bi-directional communications with LoRaWAN E2E security ● Possible to use LoRaWAN relay specifications for satellite When to deploy NTN LoRaWAN ● Serving remote locations with poor terrestrial coverage (e.g., rural, offshore, maritime) ● Monitoring of critical assets (e.g., railways, roads, bridges, pipelines) ● Monitoring of natural assets (e.g., forests, rivers, glaciers) ● Monitoring of mobile assets for maritime and logistics ● Connection of low-density remote sensors (e.g., utilities, agriculture) ● Monitoring energy infrastructure and renewables (eg O&G platforms, wind turbines) Presence at Key Asia IoT Events In 2024, the LoRa Alliance ® strengthened its presence in the Asia IoT market by participating in two prominent events: 1. EdgeTech+24, Japan: This event attracted approximate- ly 36,000 visitors. The LoRa Alliance was on the LoRa Pavillon with member company Semtech, where we helped educate and support IoT market stakeholders by showcas- ing the transformative capabilities of LoRaWAN technology. 2. The Internet of Things Conference 2024, Philippines: Hosted by LoRa Alliance member PacketWorx in Octo- ber, this event revolved around the theme of "Connected Ecosystem in Building the IoT-Ready Philippines." Mem- bers such as Browan Communications, Semtech, Kerlink, Milesight, MultiTech, Netmore, Murata, Actility, and STMi- croelectronics discussed IoT opportunities and LoRaWAN's potential to transform the regional ecosystem.
