Does LPWAN in IoT have a clear direction? Origin post in November 2015. Now we are 12 months later and nothing has changed. “Just follow the signs”. We heard that all roads lead to Rome. In LPWAN, unfortunately, the roads lead in different directions: one path leads to Sigfox; The next way leads to LoRa […]
I found the question “Is Sigfox / LoRa the new WiMAX?” on the Nokia networks blog: https://blog.networks.nokia.com/mobile-networks/2015/10/21/is-sigfoxlora-the-new-wimax/ From hype to niche technology The subtitle of Nokia’s blog post was ”From hype to niche technology”. What is your opinion? Will we see wireless hype again? Sigfox and LoRa are LPWAN (Low Power WAN) technologies. Sigfox and […]
Tower of Babel LPWAN SigFox: SigFox has already deployed a few public radio networks. Nevertheless, there are none in Germany which blunts its argument as being ready to support applications. LPWAN LoRa: In my opinion, there is no single LoRa today. There are quite a lot of LoRa dialects and these dialects are as different […]
