Abstract
The last years have seen the widespread diffusion of novel Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies, which are gaining momentum and commercial interest as enabling technologies for the Internet of Things. In this paper we discuss some of the most interesting LPWAN solutions, focusing in particular on LoRa™, one of the last born and most promising technologies for the wide-area IoT.
