LoRaWAN
An LPWAN technology using unlicensed radio spectrum; you can use a public network or run your own gateways.
LoRaWAN devices send small messages to gateways that can be kilometres away. Because the spectrum is unlicensed, a company can build a private network on a campus, farm or city without a mobile operator.
Why it matters for business
Running your own network gives control and no per-device data fees, but you own the coverage planning, gateways and maintenance. Payload sizes and how often devices may transmit are limited.
