What is LPWAN? A low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) or low-power wide-area (LPWA) network or low-power network (LPN) is a type of wireless telecommunication wide area network designed to allow long-range communications at a low bit rate among things (connected objects), such as sensors operated on a battery. LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network), also known as LPWA (Low-Power Wide-Area) or LPN (Low-Power Network, low-power network), is a kind of Battery-powered sensors), wireless networks that can communicate over long distances at low bit rates. Low power requirements, low bit rates, and timing of use can be used to distinguish LPWAN from wireless wide area networks. Wireless wide area networks are designed to connect businesses or users, which can transmit more data but also consume more energy. The transmission rate of each channel of LPWAN ranges from 0.3 kbit/s to 50 kbit/s. LPWAN can be used to build a private wireless sensor network, but it can also be a service or infrastructure provided by a third party, which allows the owner of the sensor to directly deploy the sensor without having to invest in the gateway construction.
