MNOs boarding the LoRaWAN train

MNOs deploying LoRaWAN

Reasons

• Fully available, tested and proven technology

• Already available LPWA business opportunities

• Some long duration opportunities, if not addressed today, will be closed for 10‐15 years

• No other available solution to play on the unlicensed spectrum

• Some operators have Mesh RF solutions but can not address long range opportunities
