Advocates for Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN technologies have released a white paper illustrating how combining the two could enable new IoT opportunities.
A new white paper released today (24 September) by the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and the LoRa Alliance illustrates how a combination of Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN can open up a variety of new internet-of-things (IoT) use cases.
Titled Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN Deployment Synergies: Expanding Addressable Use Cases for the Internet of Things, the report shows what mobile operators, enterprises, cities and other IoT players can gain from combining these connectivity technologies.
“Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN are two important technologies utilising the unlicensed spectrum, and they already address a large proportion of IoT use cases,” said Tiago Rodrigues, general manager of WBA.
The LoRaWAN protocol is an open global standard for secure, carrier-grade IoT LPWAN (low-power wide-area network) connectivity.
Wi-Fi connectivity covers short and medium-range use cases at high data rates and may require more power, making it the preferable technology for people-centric mains-powered applications such as real-time video and internet browsing.
Meanwhile, LoRaWAN covers long-range use cases at low data rates, making it the preferable technology for low bandwidth applications, including those in hard-to-reach locations such as temperature sensors in a manufacturing setting or vibration sensors in concrete.
As such, Wi-Fi networks are traditionally built to support critical IoT while LoRaWAN is typically used to support low data rate massive IoT applications.
The paper identifies a number of IoT use cases that can be optimised with a combination of Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN networks, including in smart transportation and smart buildings.
In a residential setting use case, Wi-Fi connects personal and professional devices, while LoRaWAN is used for home security and access control, leak detection, fuel tank monitoring and other applications
