The document discusses the LoRa Alliance and its mission to enable a global low power wide area network for the Internet of Things. Some key points: - The LoRa Alliance was founded in 2015 and has over 130 members across 27 countries working to establish an open standard for LPWAN connectivity. - The Alliance's mission is to create an open specification and certification process for secure, interoperable IoT connectivity through a low power wide area network. - LoRaWAN is the Alliance's open standard protocol, with the first version (R1.0) published. Eight commercial networks have been deployed and 56 operator trials are ongoing using LoRaWAN. - The LoRaWAN

LPWAN IoT Systems– Now & Tomorrow
LPWAN are changing already the rules of competition by proposing new
disruptive business models, thanks to tailored technology, well dimensioned from
the beginning with the true fondamental and simple primary needs from major
industrial IoT:
- (Very) Low Power
- (Very) Long Range
- (Very) Low Cost (TCO)
This allows new actors to join the Connected Economy, by adopting available &
affordable wireless technology, with simple & fast roll-out.
Simplifying IoT roll-out will massively benefit
value extraction from data, and its monetization.
Innovative & disruptive business is emerging from ISM bands technologies
(e.g. WiFi, RFID, SRD, and now IoT), Regulators should bear that in mind…
