Low-power WAN (LPWAN) is wireless network technology that is used for interconnecting the devices with low-bandwidth focusing on long range. These technologies are specifically designed for M2M communications. They enable wider range for M2M and IoT applications which is constrained by budgets and power consumption. The data transfer rates of LPWAN are very low using low-bandwidth and less power consumption of the connected devices. The networks support the devices over a long coverage area than the traditional consumer mobile technologies. Technologies such as Bluetooth' ZigBee and Wi-Fi are better for consumer level but not for industrial and commercial applications. Hence' LPWAN is being used for smart cities and buildings' industrial applications' and transportation.

Smart cities address the future development of LPWAN technology. According to Infoholic?s analyst' the LPWAN market is growing at a CAGR of 90.03% during the forecast period 2016-2022. New integrated approaches by the telecom players and software players are driving the market for new networking technologies.
