LPWA Networking: A Key Enabler for IoT Opportunities
This IDC Technology Assessment reviews the main options available to mobile operators for offering LPWA connectivity services."Any mobile operator with a substantial enterprise business should be evaluating the deployment of low-power/wide-area (LPWA) coverage," said John Delaney, Associate VP of Mobility Research for IDC Europe. "This report takes a detailed look at the main options that are available to mobile operators for offering LPWA connectivity services. It examines the pros and cons of these options and the factors that will come into play when mobile operators choose between them. It reviews the ways in which European mobile operators are approaching the question of LPWA connectivity and provides some in-depth case studies of major European operators' LPWA strategies and deployments."
