Questions tagged [lpwan]

For questions about low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) and any protocol that uses this network design. Consider also using a more specific tag for the specific protocol (e.g. [sigfox] or [weightless]).

Use this tag for questions that are about low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs).

Consider the question check list if your question fits the tag. You can also look at the example questions. If this tag doesn't fit your question have a look below at somehow related tags that might fit your question better.

Question checklist

  • Is the question about LPWAN in general, or do you need to use a specific protocol tag?

  • Is the question focused on the uses of this network type for the Internet of Things?

Example questions

Not what you are looking for?

  • Use a specific protocol tag such as or for the specific protocol.

  • Use for any network question that does not specifically relate to .

Intercepting web traffic going over cellular network

If you can plug a device into the wall, or use it in Wi-Fi, it's easy to see the traffic with software like WireShark. But it seems more tricky to do it with a device that uses LTE/3G or other cellular networks to communicate. If I'm worried about a…

Why there is no LPWAN technology in HF or VHF band?

This is a question which I have been wondering ever since I started exploring LPWAN technologies. All the LPWAN technologies I have found (like SigFox, LoRa, Ingenu etc.) work in UHF band (300 - 3,000 MHz). E.g. LoRa and SigFox work in 868 MHz while…

LPWAN technologies and Dash7

I need to transfer messages from node to gateway that would be at most 2km apart. I am currently working with 40 nodes that wake up every 1 minute. So I would like to have battery life of at least 3-5 years. I would like to have 95% accuracy from…

What are the the NB-IoT, LTE Cat-M1 and EC-GSM-IoT standards created by 3GPP?

I read an LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) article recently that referenced the recent completion of the NB-IoT, LTE Cat-M1 and EC-GSM-IoT standards by 3GPP. It seems that this agency specifies the recommended frequency bands in someway, but I don't…
