The LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) Networks Ecosystem: 2015 - 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies, Industry Verticals & ForecastsNEW YORK, April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Until recently, most M2M and IoT services have largely relied on licensed cellular, wireline and satellite networks for their wide area connectivity requirements. Cellular networks, in particular, have enjoyed significant success in the arena. However, for many low bandwidth IoT applications, traditional cellular networks are deemed too expensive due excessive power consumption and complex protocols that lower battery life. As a result, a number of LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) alternatives have emerged that specifically seek to address these concerns. LPWA networks are optimized to provide wide area coverage with minimal power consumption. Typically reliant on unlicensed frequencies, LPWA devices have low data rates, long battery lives and can operate unattended for long periods of time. Already prevalent in IoT applications such as smart metering, lighting control and parking management, LPWA networks are expected to make a significant contribution to the M2M and IoT ecosystem, with an estimated $27 Billion in service revenue by 2020. The report comes with an associated Excel datasheet suite covering quantitative data from all numeric forecasts presented in the report. - Strategic recommendations for ecosystem players - Market analysis and forecasts from 2015 till 2030 Historical Revenue & Forecast Segmentation Connection and service revenue forecasts are provided for the following submarkets: Vertical Markets - Agriculture - Asset Management & Logistics - Automotive & Transportation - Consumer Applications & Home Automation - Energy & Utilities - Healthcare - Intelligent Buildings & Infrastructure - Public Safety, Security & Surveillance - Retail & Vending - Others Regional Markets - Asia Pacific - Eastern Europe - Middle East & Africa - Latin & Central America - North America - Western Europe Key Questions Answered The report provides answers to the following key questions: - How big is the LPWA networks opportunity? - What trends, challenges and barriers are influencing its growth? - How is the ecosystem evolving by segment and region? - What will the market size be in 2020 and at what rate will it grow? - Which regions and submarkets will see the highest percentage of growth? - How are smart city initiatives driving LPWA network investments? - What are the key performance characteristics of LPWA technologies such as Sigfox, LoRa and NB-IOT? - How does regulation impact the adoption of LPWA networks? - Do LPWA networks pose a threat to cellular network technologies? - Who are the key market players and what are their strategies? - What strategies should LPWA technology providers, mobile operators, MVNOs, aggregators, IoT platform providers and other ecosystem players adopt to remain competitive?
