LoRaWAN is a technology in the Industrial Internet Of Things that has unlocked the ability to solve problems that were not easily solvable with battery powered Long Range radio networking technology. The technology is still in its infancy and has unlimited potential in commercialization of new and evolving solutions. The presentation will introduce the technology and the capabilities around Smart City applications such acoustic monitoring for loud vehicles.
