New Report - The LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) Networks Ecosystem Market Growth And Forecast To 2030
LPWA - L ow Power Wide Area , is a term used to describe a group of technologies that possess affordable chipsets and networks, extended battery life (often longer than ten years), restricted data communications throughput capacity, and wide area connectivity features. LPWA technologies are complementary to existing short range and cellular network technologies, but are associated with lower costs and better power consumption. Most Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) services are dependent on licensed satellite, cellular and wireline networks for wide area connectivity. Cellular networks, in particular, have dominated this space in the recent past. However, cellular networks consume a lot of power. Moreover, they are riddled with complex protocols that lower battery life. This renders them expensive for many low bandwidth IoT applications. LPWA, on the other hand, typically rely on unlicensed frequencies and have low data rates. Research indicates that the cos...
