days years

1. Works natively with any LoRaWAN sensor 2. No need for GPS receivers enables lower cost

(GPS adds $5-$10 to the BOM) 3. LoRaWAN enables long battery life use cases 4. 20m precision in best radio conditions 5. 50-150m average precision in urban

environment 6. Only limited by LoRa coverage: works indoor

(but with lower accuracy)

LoRaWAN-based geolocation service does not require any modification to existing sensors

Enable multiple roll-out models for LPWA – from national carrier…


… to “easy-start, easy grow” solutions for enterprise networks…

Centralized LoRaWAN Core for multi-site management

• Remote industrial sites suffer from poor

wireless coverage

• LoRa coverage can be achieved through

dedicated easyLoRa Gateways


…supported by a new category of indoor “nanogateways”

• Easy way to densify existing networks and to increase LoRa coverage for public and private networks leading to higher bit rate and less collisions on the PHY layer

• Denser network means better Spreading Factor thus better datarate an battery life

• Increased LoRa location precision (TDoA)

Densification

Indoor

Hard-to-reach areas

Easy-to-deploy

• Small footprint for buildings / homes appliances • Enhance deep indoor coverage • Allows for indoor location (in combination w. other technologies BLE, Wifi…)

• For industrial & other « harsh » condition areas • Allows for more reliable connectivity in areas with multiple propagation

obstacles

• Easy-to-roll out • Can be bundled in offers through Indirect B2B channels with Added Value

LPWAN solutions can win even when low power is not key

Example from the Street lighting vertical

1. Streetlighting does not require Low Power (currently uses Powerline or Cellular 3G)

2. It can be however supported by LoRaWAN Class C 3. LoRa brings lower cost of roll out and provides

cities with a network that can be used for other verticals


LoRaWAN and 3GPP LPWA will be complementary in the market

Seven key lessons

1. LoRaWAN creates opportunities for a new breed of IoT networks

2. Access to a global supplier eco-system and growing a local developer ecosystem are key success factors

3. Horizontal open networks beat vertical silos for IoT enablement

4. Enable all scales of network roll-out, from national deployments to small scale enterprise solutions… with “carrier grade” quality

5. LPWA networks will create new solutions and new businesses

6. LPWAN solutions can win even when low power is not key
