Leading analyst firm estimates that LoRa will
be the leading non-Cellular low-power wide-area (LPWA) network
technology in the next five years
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high
performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced
algorithms, today announced the release of a commissioned white
paper, “LoRaWAN® and Multi-RAN Architecture Connecting the Next
Billion IoT Devices,” from global tech market advisory firm, ABI
Research. The report explores the rapid growth of massive Internet
of Things (IoT) connectivity and real world applications leveraging
multi-RAN architectures.

Vertical market evaluation was a key component to the whitepaper
research. ABI Research found that the LoRaWAN protocol is the
leading license-exempt low-power wide-area (LPWA) network
technology addressing massive IoT vertical markets, which include
metering, cities, asset tracking and logistics, commercial building
automation, and home. In addition to vertical market overviews, the
white paper explores five active LoRaWAN network implementations
based on multi-RAN architectures:
- Orange enables device and data management for Cellular
and non-Cellular LPWA network technologies, with the Orange Live
Objects platform.
- JRI-MySirius uses sensors leveraging LoRaWAN and a
Cloud-based application platform to provide turnkey temperature
monitoring for fixed and mobile assets.
- Ercogener developed an end-to-end asset tracking
solution that supports the LoRaWAN protocol and is leveraged by
France's national state-owned railway company.
- MultiTech’s programmable gateway is the original gateway
integrating LoRa® for industrial IoT applications with support for
Ethernet, 2G, 3G, 4G-LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, and GNSS.
- Chevron implemented a LoRaWAN network infrastructure to
digitize a series of oil and gas fields.
“The future of IoT connectivity requires flexible solutions that
address a wide spectrum of vertical IoT applications, use cases and
device types,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of IoT Applications
in Semtech’s Wireless & Sensing Products Group. “LoRa and the
LoRaWAN open protocol enable interoperability and seamless
connection between the many devices that can exist in a single
environment. As a technology provider, our job is to create
solutions that make deployment and use easier for people."
The study concluded that LoRa devices will play an important
role as a key LPWA network technology now and in the future as the
IoT continues to connect physical devices to digital assets.
Additional key takeaways highlighted in the white paper
include:
- 5G and non-cellular network technology will co-exist: In
the future, LoRaWAN and 5G will co-exist in the form of hybrid
networks or multi-RAN architectures.
- Full 5G will take longer than expected: 5G is not
capable of addressing massive IoT in the near term. 5G networks and
the device hardware supporting the Release 17 specifications will
not be commercially available until early 2024.
- LoRa leads in LPWA technology: By 2026, LoRa is expected
to be the leading non-cellular LPWA network technology and will
account for over a one-fourth share of all LPWA network connections
and more than half of all non-cellular LPWA connections. Total
non-cellular LPWA connections in 2026 are expected to reach 1.3
billion.
- LoRa is moving beyond enterprise applications: Consumer
applications leveraging LoRa are beginning to take off. Traditional
architecture is witnessing competition from LPWA network
technologies, providing direct device-to-Cloud connectivity for a
growing number of smart home devices.
