LoRa roll-outs in the world today
Major players have chosen LoRaWAN over other LPWA options 1 Fastest-growing IoT Eco-System 2 Low Cost of gateway roll-out for B2B & B2C 3 Scalable Capacity Model of Network 4 Supports key IoT use cases with bidirectionality and low-power management
LoRaWAN geolocation benefits compared to other technologies Range Key benefits of LoRaWAN geolocation kilometers meters days GPS 8m WiFi 30m BLE 10m LoRa geoloc 20-150m years Battery life 1. Works natively with any LoRaWAN sensor 2. No need for GPS receivers enables lower cost (GPS adds $5-$10 to the BOM) 3. LoRaWAN enables long battery life use cases 4. 20m precision in best radio conditions 5. 50-150m average precision in urban environment 6. Only limited by LoRa coverage: works indoor (but with lower accuracy) LoRaWAN-based geolocation service does not require any modification to existing sensors 13

LPWAN solutions can win even when low power is not key Example from the Street lighting vertical 1. Streetlighting does not require Low Power (currently uses Powerline or Cellular 3G) 2. It can be however supported by LoRaWAN Class C 3. LoRa brings lower cost of roll out and provides cities with a network that can be used for other verticals
LoRaWAN and 3GPP LPWA will be complementary in the market Jumping on the LPWA bandwagon with LoRaWAN Building the Eco-system to address current LPWA Opportunities Complementing LoRa connectivity with cellular Longer battery life Lower Cost of Sensors Coverage in hardto-reach areas Smart metering Tracking Cat 1 Cat M1 $ NB-IoT LoRaWAN Smart building Street lighting
Seven key lessons 1. LoRaWAN creates opportunities for a new breed of IoT networks 2. Access to a global supplier eco-system and growing a local developer ecosystem are key success factors 3. Horizontal open networks beat vertical silos for IoT enablement 4. Enable all scales of network roll-out, from national deployments to small scale enterprise solutions with carrier grade quality 5. LPWA networks will create new solutions and new businesses 6. LPWAN solutions can win even when low power is not key 7. LoRaWAN and 3GPP LPWA will be complementary in the market
