2018 Smart Cities Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) Markets Report – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Smart
Cities LPWA" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

Cumulative Revenues from LPWA Enabled Equipment and Associated Services
over this Period Will Reach $30 Billion

In this report, we cover the growing LPWA market opportunities for smart
cities including smart metering (electric, gas and water), smart water
networks, transportation, waste management, bike sharing, environmental
monitoring, geotechnical monitoring and others. It includes market size
forecasts (2016-2022) for connected devices, annual unit shipments and
breakdowns by market, application, technology, geography and
equipment/services; the results from several surveys; an in-depth
technology evaluation; and analysis of the value system with 100+
companies.

In the next five years, Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networking
technologies such as Sigfox, LoRa, LTE-M and NB-IoT will connect
hundreds of millions of smart city sensing devices to low cost
multi-kilometer cloud connected networks. LPWA networks continue to
displace existing outdoor networking technologies for metering and
streetlight monitoring, but they are also disrupting Internet of Things
(IoT) solutions for parking, waste management, smart water networks,
geotechnical monitoring, pollution monitoring and bike sharing.

Intense competition among network operators and new LPWA network
offerings has created a more affordable smart city technology landscape.
Unlicensed LPWA IoT network technologies like LoRa and Sigfox have given
IoT operators Comcast, Senet, Thinxtra and UnaBiz a significant cost
advantage. However, LTE-M and NB-IoT networks are rolling out worldwide
by mobile LTE operators, many of which also provide LoRaWAN as an
alternative for either public or private network use.

The recently released LoRaWAN 1.1 specification provides several
enhancements for network operators targeting smart cities including
support for passive and active roaming, class B devices as well as
security enhancements. Still, the largest opportunity is LTE networks
with its 3GPP's Release 13 announced last June and NB-IoT with a rapidly
growing ecosystem. The inevitability of NB-IoT is not a given as its not
suitable for mobile sensing applications, requires new tower
installations and has interoperability issues.

Smart city LPWA connected devices will increase by 12X over the next
five years when there will be 141 million connections worldwide.
Cumulative revenues from LPWA enabled equipment and associated services
over this period will reach $30 billion.
