A Survey of Low Power Wide Area Network Technologies

Abstract

The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) is ever-growing and is becoming integral part of our life and industries. As each application differs in connectivity requirements it is essential to keep track about possible solution. Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) is a category of network technologies, that possess the ability to offer low-cost connection for large number of low power devices distributed over large area. This paper presents leading LPWAN technologies called Sigfox, LoRaWAN and NB-IoT.
