The Future of LPWAN
Date November 1, 2018
Time 11 AM EDT
Event Detail
LPWANs are exploring opportunities in major markets like asset tracking, building management, smart cities, smart agriculture, and more. These opportunities could have a huge impact on our world—from helping to feed the global population, to reducing the amount of water consumed, to cutting back on energy consumption, and so much more. LPWANs power real applications, because they allow companies to get data back from sensor networks and make more efficient decisions about how to utilize resources. In this webinar we will explore current and future applications for LPWAN as well as predictions on the future of what Low Power Networking will offer.
