What does LPWAN mean?

LPWAN stands for "Low Power Wide Area Network" and describes a wireless network with a long range and low energy consumption. It connects a wide variety of devices equipped with a corresponding chip. End devices require only low bandwidth and power for data exchange via LPWAN. As a result, they consume little energy and can operate for extended periods on a single battery. This makes LPWAN a suitable transmission technology for the Internet of Things (IoT).
