Abstract

LoRaWAN is currently the best among the LPWANs protocols when it comes to IoT or machine-to-machine (M2M) communication such as in the deployment of wireless sensor networks. LoRaWAN is an RF technology operating in ISM bands. Its strength comes from the capability of Long-range communication between remote sensors and the gateways, deep indoor penetration, and public and private network deployment. All these traits are possible because of the LoRa network modulation technique. This paper provides an overview of the LoRaWAN protocol and the 5G cellular network. Also, the paper gives the benefits of using LoRaWAN over the other technologies for the deployment of the IoT module communication links.
