An Examination of LPWAN Technology in IoT
The explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) is leading virtually every industry to incorporate connected technologies to ensure it’s ready to move toward an automated society. Our daily lives continue to evolve alongside technology as homes, cars, wearable devices, healthcare devices, cities, utilities… everything is becoming connected and interactive, and more data about us is transmitted across networks and saved in the cloud.
Network requirements of the IoT demand communication technologies that offer long-range connectivity, low power consumption, and affordable expansion. Low-power wide-area network for IoT, or LPWAN, technology was created to meet these needs.
