This whitepaper helps Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to implement their Internet of Things (IoT) solutions with low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) connectivity technologies. First, this paper provides customers with a decision framework, to help them decide if LPWAN is the right choice for their IoT use case. Then, it provides an overview of LPWAN connectivity technologies and their capabilities, as well as implementation guidelines for implementing Narrowband Internet of Things (NB IoT), LTE-M, Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN), and Sigfox connectivity for the IoT applications. Finally, a detailed description of NB-IoT, LTE-M, LoRaWAN, and Sigfox technologies is provided in the appendix.
This whitepaper is intended for technical architects, IoT cloud engineers, IoT security architects, and embedded engineers.
