The LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) Networks Ecosystem: 2015 - 2030 - Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies, Industry Verticals & ForecastsLONDON, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Until recently, most M2M and IoT services have largely relied on licensed cellular, wireline and satellite networks for their wide area connectivity requirements. Cellular networks, in particular, have enjoyed significant success in the arena. However, for many low bandwidth IoT applications, traditional cellular networks are deemed too expensive due excessive power consumption and complex protocols that lower battery life. As a result, a number of LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) alternatives have emerged that specifically seek to address these concerns. - Industry roadmap and value chain - Profiles and strategies of over 80 leading ecosystem players - Strategic recommendations for ecosystem players - Market analysis and forecasts from 2015 till 2030 Historical Revenue & Forecast Segmentation Connection and service revenue forecasts are provided for the following submarkets: Vertical Markets - Agriculture - Asset Management & Logistics - Automotive & Transportation - Consumer Applications & Home Automation - Energy & Utilities - Healthcare - Intelligent Buildings & Infrastructure - Public Safety, Security & Surveillance - Retail & Vending - Others Regional Markets - Asia Pacific - Eastern Europe - Middle East & Africa - Latin & Central America - North America - Western Europe Key Questions Answered The report provides answers to the following key questions: - How big is the LPWA networks opportunity? - What trends, challenges and barriers are influencing its growth? - How is the ecosystem evolving by segment and region? - What will the market size be in 2020 and at what rate will it grow? - Which regions and submarkets will see the highest percentage of growth? - How are smart city initiatives driving LPWA network investments? - What are the key performance characteristics of LPWA technologies such as Sigfox, LoRa and NB-IOT? - How does regulation impact the adoption of LPWA networks? - Do LPWA networks pose a threat to cellular network technologies? - Who are the key market players and what are their strategies? - What strategies should LPWA technology providers, mobile operators, MVNOs, aggregators, IoT platform providers and other ecosystem players adopt to remain competitive? Key Findings The report has the following key findings: - Already prevalent in IoT applications such as smart metering, lighting control and parking management, LPWA networks are expected to make a significant contribution to the M2M and IoT ecosystem, with an estimated $27 Billion in service revenue by 2020. - As of Q4'2015, SNS Research estimates the cost of a typical LPWA module to be $5-20, depending on the specific technology. As LPWA network deployments mature, we expect that the cost per module can drop down to as low as $1-2 in volume quantities. - At present, a majority of LPWA networks operate in license-exempt spectrum primarily in sub-GHz bands. There are a number of ongoing initiatives that call for regulators to dedicate spectrum bands exclusively for LPWA networks as mass market adoption of unlicensed LPWA networks can result in significant interference. - Besides optimizing their cellular networks for M2M services, mobile operators are increasingly investing in their own carrier-grade LPWA networks to support low bandwidth IoT applications.
