Industrial LWPA: Market Dynamics Report
Industrial low power wide area (LPWA) solutions continue to penetrate industrial Internet of Things (IoT) markets. For industrial IoT developers who have spent years with wireless mesh sensor network technologies such as WirelessHART and ISA100 these new LPWA technologies are disruptive. They also represent a new opportunity to extend wireless sensor networks with hybrid industrial wireless sensing solutions.
Unlicensed LPWA Networks Expand Worldwide:
Much of Europe and many parts of the Asia Pacific region are covered with Sigfox and LoRa networks with LPWA services offered by key telecom operators such as Arqiva, Bouygues, Orange, KPN, Proximus, Swisscom as well as dedicated IoT operators such as Thinxtra in Australia. In the U.S., LoRa® will have the largest private unlicensed industrial LPWA network growth and LTE-M1 will do the same for licensed public networks.
Oil & Gas LPWA
Over the past 12 years, the publisher has covered the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) on the oil and gas industry. In the past two years, we saw growing interest in Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) network solutions such as LoRa®, Sigfox, LTE-M and NB-IoT and this trend continues. The multi-mile sensing and control capabilities provided by LPWA technologies is perfectly matched for oil and gas wellhead automation and pipeline operations as well as innovative solutions for asset tracking and logistics.
The US congress’s decision to allow oil and gas exports was a key decision that has enabled the US oil and gas industry to have a faster recovery from the 2014-2016 oil downturn. LPWA is the latest development that impacts this industry by solving complex and labor expensive monitoring and management of remote wellheads and assets. LPWA solutions move the networking and provisioning complexity to the in-premises or cloud network server. This lowers labor costs as routers and repeaters are not needed and development is primarily done in the cloud.
LoRa®: Market Dynamics
With a thriving global ecosystem and 10,000s of networks worldwide, LoRa® has captured a significant slice of Internet of Things markets.
LoRa’s chirp spread spectrum advantages, deep building penetration, open source networking and suitability for private and public networks has drawn thousands of developers and the world’s largest network operators. The LoRa Alliance™ has grown to over 500 members in just two years and new breakthroughs such as LoRa backscatter using 1000X less power with 10 cent sensing devices transmitting up to 1 kilometer may soon make the promise of billions of IoT devices a reality.
Standards based LoRaWAN™ networks are rolling out worldwide. Complete coverage of nearly all EU countries is completed or underway and most major network operators including Bouygues, Orange, KPN, Proximus and Swisscom are deploying LoRa gateways in thousands of towers, driving new roaming standards, leveraging unlicensed spectrum and aggressively targeting enterprises. In Asia, SK Telecom has one of the first commercial public LoRa networks and SoftBank (ARM) with partner Actility is deploying LoRa services in Japan. Public LoRa networks will soon cover North America as Comcast’s machineQ service is aggressively expanding to 20 major US cities.
