There is a wide variety of technologies available today to connect wide area IoT devices. Communications Service Providers typically limit themselves to just a small number, usually existing cellular technologies (including LPWA technologies NB-IoT and LTE-M). This report explores the growing fragmentation in the technology options for wide area IoT connectivity, including LoRaWAN, satellite and mesh networks. It also looks at the viability of adding them to a CSPs’ portfolio and the addressable opportunity that having those technologies might open up.
