Forward-thinking cities have come to recognize that in order to realize the full value of IoT, they must enable a secure and scalable network infrastructure designed to support multiple applications. While there are several options to consider, the emergence of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) has fundamentally changed the smart cities IoT landscape. From smart waste management services that allows municipalities to optimize collection routs, to smart water management solutions that help utilities manage and monitor water flows, to smart buildings where IoT is used to measure and verify energy efficiency, Low Power Wide Area Networks are poised to deliver on the promise of IoT.

What is LoRaWAN?
The technology utilized in a network
supporting the LoRaWAN protocol is
designed to connect
low-cost, battery-operated sensors over
long distances
The LoRaWAN protocol offers unique
and unequaled benefits in terms of bi-
directionality, security, mobility, and
accurate localization
The LoRa® Alliance – an open, non-
profit association promoting the
LoRaWAN protocol has grown to
include more than 400 members since
its inception in March of 2015
LoRaWAN is the open global
standard for carrier-grade Low
Power Wide Area Network
(LPWAN) connectivity
6. • Unparalleled open ecosystem
• Substantially lower operational cost and
capital expense
• Ability to cover more area with less
network infrastructure
• Single global provisioning of ‘end device’ for security,
redundancy, and mobility
• Maximum flexibility in fixed, nomadic, and mobile data
gathering applications
• Bi-directional communication
• Addresses more use cases than any other LPWAN technology

Smart Buildings/
Campuses/Cities
By 2025, there will be 1.5 billion
connected wireless sensors, actuators
and trackers for smart cities and
utilities.
LPWANS will be the fastest growing
wireless technology and will displace
existing technologies for many
applications as well as enable IoT
connected devices that would not
likely otherwise exist.

In downtown San Francisco 20-30% of all traffic congestion is
caused by people hunting for a parking spot
- San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA)
40 million adults age 65 and over will be living alone in the U.S.,
Canada, and Europe
- U.S. Department of Health & Huma Services: Administration for Community Living
Energy used by commercial and industrial buildings in the U.S.
creates nearly 50% of our national emissions of greenhouse gasses
- United States Environmental Protection Agency
By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities

15. LPWAN Value Proposition
15
• Low cost LPWAN access allows for more sensor deployments, enabling significantly
more information to be gathered
• Battery operated sensors simplify in-building and outdoor installation
• Single base station provides deep penetration in dense urban/indoor regions
including ability to reach nodes underground, in basements, or deep within large
buildings
• Secure two-way communication to end nodes allows for control and state changes
• Newly available data enhances the capabilities of Building Management Systems
(BMS) and Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS)
