In this session, we will explore Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN), a class of wireless communication technologies designed to provide long-range connectivity for low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. LPWANs are critical for supporting IoT applications, especially those that require extended battery life, vast coverage, and cost-effective deployment. We will discuss key LPWAN technologies such as LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB-IoT, focusing on their unique capabilities, benefits, and trade-offs. Additionally, the session will cover common use cases, challenges, and future directions for LPWAN in expanding IoT connectivity. By the end, participants will have a foundational understanding of how LPWAN can drive efficient, large-scale IoT networks.
