A Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) is a type of wireless telecommunication wide area network designed to allow long range connectivity at low power, to increase the battery life of devices such as sensor nodes. Its wide coverage increases the scale of data collection and the range of deployment. LoRaWAN is one of the technologies under LPWAN.
