What is LPWAN

Chapter 15
Principles and Applications of Narrowband Internet of Things (NBIoT)
Low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) are used for industrial applications. These devices are used to send small amounts of data over long distances for many years on a single battery. The LoRa WAN open standard is a popular and effective LPWAN protocol.

Abstract
It is expected that internet of things (IoT) will deal with the major activities in the connected living environment as well as the industrial processes. All these aspects are going to be real in the frameworks of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. 5G-based narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) networks have the capability to serve various innovative IoT applications at a great extent. NB-IoT is third generation partnership project (3GPP) standardized low power wide area (LPWA) technology which is designed for IoT devices requiring long battery life, low cost, worldwide coverage, and high system capacity. To improve the performance, 3GPP has agreed that the NB-IoT will continue evolving as part of the 5G specifications. NB-IoT along with 5G will work in several connected living applications. This combination will also be very useful in the industrial environments which need high data rates and low latency. All these features will be supported by 5G in the future. Similarly, applications with low data rates in the IoT world will be supported by NB-IoT. So 5G and NB-IoT are going to be a popular combination for several new applications.

An Overview of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) in the Modern Era
Type of wireless network for long distances with low power consumption and low bandwidth coupled with low implementation cost, it is often used in IoT when there is a need to send little data, over relatively long distances, guaranteeing a longer battery life to be implemented during the communication and application processes. It is a new class of wireless communication technology, designed specifically for low data traffic IoT applications, it is a type of telecommunications network designed to allow a long-range of communication at small transmission rates between connected objects, such as battery-charged sensors are characterized by using little energy, low transmission rate, and low cost.
