Title: Do we really need a new wide area network system for the IoT? Proponents of LRLP networks claim that they offer a combination of wide area coverage, low power and low cost that is ideal for traditional M2M and the IoT. But device makers already have mature technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee, and cellular at their disposal. Can it be possible for any new network, particularly a wide area system that normally requires expensive network infrastructure to offer something new? Luke D'Arcy, Director of SIGFOX USA, will provide insight into the arguments for and against dedicated wide area networks for the IoT, focusing on the technical and economic factors that will be make or break for the new networks. | |
