Low-power Wide-Area Networking includes systems like [[LoRa]], Zigbee, XBee, and various IEEE 802.15.4-derived LR-WPAN protocols.
Low-power Wide-Area Networking includes systems like [[LoRa]], Zigbee, XBee, and various IEEE 802.15.4-derived LR-WPAN protocols. They are designed to be less costly to consume less power than alternatives such as [[Bluetooth]] or [[WiFi]], sacrificing bandwidth. Some can transmit over distance (LoRa can be used over kilometers under optimal conditions), whereas others build in the concept of mesh networking. Most operate within the [[Software_Defined_Radio#RF_spectrum|ISM]] bands.
