!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([LPWAN]) is a generic term for networks focused on [Internet of Things] ([IoT]) devices which and provides the low cost, low power and wide-area coverage needed for vast, granular wireless sensor networks.

[{$pagename}] focus is for [IoT] telemetry applications where small amounts of data are transmitted periodically, [{$pagename}] redefines the way assets and processes are remotely monitored and managed.

* Long Range: The operating range of LPWAN technology varies from a few kilometers in urban areas to over 15 km in rural settings. It can also enable effective data communication in previously infeasible indoor and underground locations.
* Low Power: Optimized for power consumption, LPWAN transceivers can run on small, inexpensive batteries for 10-15 years; reducing maintenance costs.
* Low Cost: LPWAN's simplified, lightweight protocols reduce complexity in hardware design and lower device costs. Its long range combined with a star topology reduce expensive infrastructure requirements, and the use of license-free or already owned licensed bands, reduce network costs.
