The last 5 years have seen a tremendous increase in the interest for Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) connectivity technologies designed to connect IoT Devices on a global scale in an easy, efficient and cost effective way. This presentation introduces the latest standardized LPWA technologies that are being rolled out onto cellular networks throughout the world in 2017: 4G LTE-M, 4G NB-IOT and 2G EC-GSM-IOT. It will provide technical details on how these technologies fulfill the “promise of the 3 C’s: Consumption, Coverage and Cost”, while leveraging the advantages of the existing cellular networks such as widespread adoption, security and long-term availability.
