Low Power Wide Area Network Market Segment Analysis - By Technology type

NB-IoT technology type segment is anticipated to hold the highest growth rate at 15.1% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The increasing ecosystem of the IoT network will create demand for networks that can provide access to IoT devices that need low latency and low data transmission speeds, such as smart water metres. NB-IoT technology increases the power efficiency of these instruments and satisfies the challenging specifications for coverage. 

NB-IoT is perceived to be the potentially less costly alternative, since it avoids the need for a gateway. Usually, most infrastructures provide gateways that collect sensor data and then connect with the main server. Sensor data is therefore sent directly to the primary server with NB-IoT. Huawei, Ericsson, Qualcomm and Vodafone are all aggressively involved in commercial NB-IoT technologies.

 

Low Power Wide Area Network Market Segment Analysis - By Deployment Model

Cloud deployment model held the highest market share of Low Power Wide Area Network in 2020 at 53% share. Moreover, it is anticipated to witness the significant market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. Customers choose cloud services for fast integration of the IoT and wireless networks. Enterprises can significantly reduce the timeline for deployment by following the cloud deployment model and handling cloud-enabled LPWAN servers and gateways with ease. 

LPWAN businesses also offer cloud services that allow consumers to easily access IoT sensor-generated data and allow service providers to control the LPWA network. In June 2018, The Occam Technology Group partnered with Google Cloud to offer LoRaWAN's OccamSmart Network Server Stack running on the Google Cloud Platform. In this way, companies minimise costs and deploy LoRaWAN communities within the global framework of Google Cloud. Such product developments enhance the market growth.
