LPWAN – Low-Power Wide-Area Networks – are designed to connect devices which require wide-ranging transmission and a long battery life, with minimal power consumption.
There are currently 3 main networks in operation; LoRaWAN, Sigfox and Cellular LTE Cat M1/NB-IoT:
Technologies
Sigfox
The SIGFOX network in Australia and NZ is managed by Thinxtra. It’s affordable, power-efficient, and the most mature of all LPWAN technologies on the market.
LoRaWAN
This technology enables secure,
bi-directional communication between wireless devices. The network can be public (e.g. Spark’s NZ IoT Network) or owned by the customer (private LoRaWAN).
Cellular LTE Cat M1/NB-IoT
This network is bi-directional,
power-efficient & provides extended coverage via existing cellular networks. It’s managed by major telecommunications carriers such as Telstra, Spark, Optus & Vodafone.
