Ready for LPWA to transform your future?

Start with Sierra

Only Sierra Wireless has the Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) solutions, fully integrated device-to-cloud platform, and expertise to help you deploy the right LPWA technology for your application.

Sierra Wireless has been actively shaping the LPWA discussions within the 3GPP standards body since 2010. LPWA technologies open up new low-bandwidth IoT applications for cellular including many industrial, smart city, smart home, and agriculture applications.

The drivers behind the adoption of this new technology are what we refer to as the 4Cs:

Cost

Reducing the R&D and operational costs associated with cellular-enabled IoT applications

Consumption

Lowering the power of IoT applications to enable 10+ years of battery life

Coverage

Extending cellular connectivity into underground spaces, building and rural environments

Capacity

Increasing the number of connected devices that can transmit data in a condensed area

Today there are two leading LPWA technologies that are rolling out now with network operators globally that are expected to have over 690M connected devices on them in the next 5 years:

LTE-M (eMTC), supporting up to 350kbps data rates, voice, roaming, and ideal for real-time fixed or mobile applications.

NB-IoT, supporting up to 65kbps data rates and ideal for simpler static sensor applications.
