Progress in IoT Communications - Technologies, Markets and ApplicationsNEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This report addresses novel technologies designed for IoT/M2M communications. For the purpose of this report analysis, we distinguished the following groups of technologies: 1. Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) communications (Sub-1 GHz): • LoRA • SigFox • Weightless (W, N, P) • Waviot 2. 3GPP cellular LPWA (LTE, GSM): • NB-IoT • LTE Cat – M • EC-GSM-IoT • Other 3. Industry Groups/Standardizations Organizations: • IEEE802.11ah (Sub-1 GHz) • Thread • Bluetooth Mesh • ETSI LTN • Ingenu. LPWA communication is split into two separate sub-categories. On the one hand, there are the current proprietary LPWA technologies, such as SigFox and LoRa, which typically operate on unlicensed sub -1 GHz spectrum. On the other hand, there are the forthcoming 3GPP standardized cellular IoT technologies, which typically operate on licensed spectrum (3GPP Rel. 12, 13 and up). Designed specifically for low bandwidth, low-power IoT applications, LPWAs structures are poised to see huge growth over the next few years, with stakeholders across the industry now talking about LPWA technologies as a core enabler of the IoT. LPWA profile IoT applications include metering, agriculture, vehicle telematics, tracking, healthcare, consumer products, and others. It is estimated that 3-4 billion LPWA connections will be in place by 2020, with hardware, network and service revenues reaching $9-$11 billion. The report also analyzes the related work of such standards bodies as the IEEE, ITU, ETSI and other. The report goals are also to identify major players in each protocol category; and estimate (5-year forecast) major marketing characteristics of still young IoT communications industry. The survey of 802.11ah-related patents is also presented in the report. The report was developed for a wide audience of managerial and technical staff of organizations that are working on IoT/M2M communications projects.
