Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are wireless communication technologies specifically engineered to provide extended-range connectivity while minimizing power consumption, making them particularly well-suited for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These networks excel in transmitting modest amounts of data across substantial distances, especially in remote or demanding environments.
The primary low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies comprise Long-Range Wide-Area Networks (LoRaWAN), Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), Sigfox, and other variants. LoRaWAN, a communication protocol tailored for LPWANs, encompasses various deployment models, including on-premise and cloud solutions, catering to applications such as smart building management, intelligent gas and water monitoring, efficient waste management, precision agriculture, and smart parking systems. This technology finds application across diverse industries, including healthcare, oil and gas, industrial manufacturing, agriculture, consumer electronics, transportation and logistics, among others.

The low power wide area network (LPWAN) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $139.72 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 53.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for IoT connectivity, demand for long-range, low-power connectivity, penetration into smart agriculture, increasing adoption of smart city solutions, growth in smart metering applications. Major trends in the forecast period include strategic collaboration, expansion of agricultural IoT applications, integration of LPWAN with edge computing, expansion into fleet management solutions, integration with renewable energy systems.
The surge in smart metering applications is poised to drive the growth of the low power wide area network (LPWAN) market. Smart metering applications involve the deployment of advanced metering technology, often incorporating IoT connectivity and data analytics, to monitor and optimize real-time energy consumption. This trend is gaining momentum as industries and residential sectors increasingly demand efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable energy consumption practices. LPWAN plays a crucial role in this landscape by providing efficient, long-range connectivity for smart meters, optimizing communication, and extending battery life in smart metering applications. For instance, data from November 2022, as reported by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), a UK-based government department, indicated substantial growth in the installation of smart meters by large suppliers. In the third quarter of 2022, 836,800 domestic and 44,900 non-domestic smart meters were installed, reflecting an increase of 21,900 and 16,400 units, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2022. This underscores the pivotal role of LPWAN in facilitating the expansion of smart metering applications.
Leading companies in the low-power wide area network (LPWAN) market are intensifying their efforts to develop cutting-edge products, such as next-generation LPWAN modules, to gain a competitive advantage. These modules, representing advanced wireless communication devices, offer improved performance, energy efficiency, and connectivity for IoT and smart devices. In a notable development, Telit Cinterion, a US-based IoT solutions provider, unveiled a 5G LPWA module portfolio in February 2023. These modules, featuring Sony's Altair ALT1350 chipset, boast high-speed data transfer capabilities, low power consumption, and a compact form factor, catering to a diverse range of applications. Specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of the 5G LPWA massive IoT market, these modules offer ultra-low power consumption, an AI engine for edge processing, indoor and outdoor positioning technologies, and a sensor hub for comprehensive data collection.
