#News(IoTStack) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
ABI Research has newly published that Low Power Wide Area Networks (Sigfox, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M) will reach 500 million tracked things in the next 5 years. This is the first research company to recognize that asset tracking is the sweet spot for some LPWA networks (Sigfox, LTE-M mainly).
Here is a ranking based on my perception of the market and the fit with LPWA technologies:
10- Maritime containers
– Total Available Market: Tens of million containers worldwide
– Use case: Calculate the Estimated Time of Arrival based on the container arriving at key milestones, in other words in ports where the container has been seen. Inform the logistics company and/or customer when the container has arrived at destination. Monitor the storage conditions inside the container.
– Why LPWA? The global mobility. For open loops, when the technology allows, this market will soon shift to disposable LPWA trackers.
9 – Consumer luggage tracking
– TAM: Several billion-baggage checked-in every year
– Use case: Inform the passenger if the luggage has been boarded and let the passenger know when the luggage is on its way to the carrousel. In case of loss, identify in which airport/terminal the luggage is.
– Why LPWA? The global mobility combined with the low power consumption properties.
8 – Rental Bicycle tracking
– TAM: Tens of million rental bicycles
– Use case: send GPS positions in case of loss.
– Why LPWA? The market will be shared between Bluetooth powered devices using the smartphone’s GPS and standalone LPWA trackers.
7- Trailer tracking
– TAM: tens of million worldwide
– Use case: identify trailers that are underused or have been lost or stolen.
– Why LPWA? While trucks were tracked by powered cellular trackers, trailers do not have power supply and require battery powered trackers and therefore LPWA is the right technology.
