Context
Wienke Giezeman, CEO and co-founder of The Things Industries , recently discussed the evolution and current state of LoRaWAN technology on the IoT For All Podcast for 27 minutes. Here are five key takeaways from the podcast. In 2015, expectations for low-power wide area networks (LPWAN), including LoRaWAN, were sky-high. Companies like Sigfox , LoRaWAN, and NB-IoT were seen as revolutionary. Over time, LoRaWAN has found its place, particularly in private networks, enabling enterprises to create their own networks with low-power sensors. This shift has helped drive down operational costs significantly.

Analysis
LoRaWAN stands out in enterprise IoT solutions due to its low R&D costs and extensive device-making ecosystem. The Things Industries now supports around 2 million LoRaWAN devices globally, from mining air quality measurements in Chile to tracking cattle in New Zealand. The versatility and efficiency of LoRaWAN make it a valuable asset for various sectors. Also read: How to protect the ‘internet of things’? Also read: How do Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices update remotely? Giezeman highlighted that LoRaWAN doesn’t necessarily converge with other RF technologies but rather complements them. For example, a LoRaWAN gateway might use cellular backup, combining different technologies to enhance reliability and coverage. This modular approach allows companies to build robust IoT solutions tailored to their specific needs.
