## LoRa Alliance to Highlight LoRaWAN’s Impact on Smart Cities at SCEWC 2024
The LoRa Alliance, the global association behind the open LoRaWAN® standard for Internet of Things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), is set to showcase the technology’s transformative power in urban development at the upcoming Smart Cities Expo World Congress (SCEWC) 2024.
The event will see the Alliance present its latest findings on LoRaWAN’s role in smart city initiatives, including a new report by Beecham Research titled “Leveraging LoRaWAN for Smart Cities: Cost-Effective, Scalable, Sustainable Connectivity.” The report underscores the growing importance of connectivity in urban environments and positions LoRaWAN as a robust and cost-effective infrastructure solution for various smart city applications.
LoRaWAN: A Key Driver for Smart City Solutions
“The increasing demand for smart city solutions is driven by urbanization and the need for sustainable development,” said Alper Yegin, CEO of the LoRa Alliance. “Cities face challenges like pollution, traffic congestion, waste management, and energy efficiency. The adoption of IoT technologies powered by LoRaWAN can help manage resources more effectively and enhance the quality of life for residents. We are eager to showcase the wide array of LoRaWAN solutions and their contributions to urban innovation at SCEWC.”
The report highlights the unique strengths of LoRaWAN, including its long-range capabilities, low power consumption, and cost-effectiveness. These qualities make it an ideal choice for cities seeking to improve their infrastructure while effectively controlling operational costs. The report further emphasizes LoRaWAN’s ability to support diverse devices and sensors, crucial for successful smart city initiatives.
SCEWC 2024: A Showcase of LoRaWAN Innovation
The LoRa Alliance will be exhibiting at SCEWC 2024 (Stand B155 in Hall 3), bringing the insights from the Beecham Research report to life through demonstrations of LoRaWAN deployments and market-ready urban solutions. Joining the Alliance will be members Browan Communications, iotech, Miromico, and Tata Communications.
The Alliance will also host a panel discussion titled “IoT Connectivity & Data Insights to Enhance Urban Life.” This session will delve into the opportunities for connected cities to leverage IoT sensors, devices, and deployments to gather and send real-time data insights over LoRaWAN networks. It will explore the benefits of LoRaWAN for various use cases and discuss deployment requirements, as well as strategies for enhancing urban life through smart city solutions.
