Why is LoRaWAN better than Sigfox, NB-IoT, and LTE-M? It is not a query based on a statement of fact, to be clear; just a loose question, asked here of a partisan subject (whose bias is reflected in the enquiry), in the form of...
Cellular M2M value-added service revenues will account for only 14 per cent of the total revenues gained on the top of straight cellular M2M connection revenues, in the next five years. And 3G and 4G connections – as opposed to either 5G, or twin...

Indian telecommunications operator Reliance Jio expects to connect at least a billion connected IoT devices to its Internet of Things (IoT) platform within the next two years, Indian newspaper The Economic Times reported the company’s Chairman Mukesh Ambani as saying. "Jio has developed an innovative service on its pan-India 4G network...
The rise of private cellular networks has been a key narrative recently in the story of industrial transformation, propelled by the emergence of advanced data analytics (AI), distributed sensing and processing infrastructure (IoT), and super-fast connectivity (5G). Irish firm Druid Software has helped to...
Arm has launched an updated version of its Pelion IoT connectivity management platform for mobile network operators. The 2.0 version will help operators to offer a simplified device management tool, featuring higher levels of automation, to enterprises bringing online large numbers of IoT devices...
Asia Pacific accounted for 42 per cent of the total installed base of smart water meters in 2018; its share will rise in the coming years as water utilities in China, India, Japan, and South Korea move from trials to large scale deployments, starting...
South East Water is connecting digital water meters, sensors and acoustic loggers on underground mains water pipes to Vodafone’s NB-IoT network in the UK. The arrangement is part of a year-long trial of the technology to monitor and fix water leakage, in line with...
Cellular IoT technologies are expected to take the lion's share of the low-power wide-area (LPWA) market, but it has been a bumpy start – outside of China, at least. Rival non-cellular technologies LoRaWAN and Sigfox have stolen a march in other territories.
Here, we...
IoT provider Ingenu has relaunched with a ‘2.0’ message about the suitability of its low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology for sundry industrial sectors, with a platform-as-a-service offer and a number of contract wins in the Asia Pacific region.
The San Diego based company has also...
For all the experience of LTE and excitement of 5G, the IoT market has been propped by low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies. The concept of smart-anything as the prerequisite for industrial change – in buildings, cities, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture – has gained credence, in large...
Device availability, network flexibility, and technical features give LoRaWAN the edge on NB-IoT today, reckons Proximus. But competition between the two IoT technologies will grow closer, it expects. Meanwhile, Sigfox is missing in action, having apparently retreated from the kinds of metering and smart-city...
LoRaWAN supports a broad set of IoT applications, applicable to a wide variety of vertical markets. Below is a comprehensive list of 19 use cases, as provided by LoRaWAN provider Senet, which offers LoRaWAN infrastructure in 80 countries.

Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a cellular-based low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology. Specified in Release 13 of the 3GPP in June 2016, it coexists with GSM and LTE in licensed frequency bands.
NB-IoT is associated with simple sensor applications, which make up most of the burgeoning...
T-Mobile US announced it will start selling what it claims to be the first asset tracking solution in the United States, the telco said in a release.
T-Mobile US partnered with Roambee for its BeeAware asset tracking IoT offering. The solution will be offered via...
The rise of private industrial networking should be measured by the number of new networks, and network operators, and not by the number of cell sites, reckons Italy-based industrial networking specialist Athonet.
