Connecting Smart Cities Through LPWAN Technology
Connecting Smart Cities Through LPWAN Technology
Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology is pivotal in connecting low-power devices across vast urban landscapes, contributing significantly to the realization of smart city initiatives. From street lighting to industrial agriculture, LPWAN addresses crucial design requirements like extended battery life and longevity in crowded environments. This versatile technology supports various protocols, including both open-source and proprietary solutions such as Amazon Sidewalk, Wi-SUN, Wirepas, NB-IoT/LTE-M, Mioty, Z-Wave Long Range, and LoRa.
In navigating the dynamic landscape of LPWAN, designers grapple with operational strengths and weaknesses. Challenges such as susceptibility to physical attacks, interference in antenna design, and the demand for efficient wake/sleep cycle algorithms necessitate careful consideration. Explore LPWAN's potential with Silicon Labs, offering flexible APIs and comprehensive stacks. Whether you're experienced or new to RF, receive unwavering support in the development process.
