LoRaWAN is a Low Power Wide Area Network technology for connecting devices with the Internet of Things (IoT). LoRaWAN is responsible for network communication and LoRa is the underlying communication technology.
Whilst they are proprietary technologies, LoRa and LoRaWAN are becoming widely accepted as key technologies for IoT and Smart Cities.
But there are many alternatives, including other LoRa-based systems, Wi-Fi HaLow, Sigfox, Symphony Link, LTE-M, Narrowband-IoT / NB-IoT / LTE-M2, Ingenu RPMA, Weightless, DASH7 and more.
