Abstract
With the rapid growth of the internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, another important technology appears on the research field that helps in earning a high performance wireless communication between devices, it is called low power wide area network (LPWAN). In the LPWAN technology, there are two categories: Long Rang (LoRa) and narrowband (NB-IoT). LoRa is not only a long-range network; it is also enables the transfer of information with a low transfer rate and low power consumption. Additionally, LoRa wireless area network (LoRaWAN) is a promising technology developed to overcome the IoT applications challenges. In this paper, the main contribution is focus on the revolution of LoRaWAN network technology considering the IoT requirements. Moreover, we show how this revolution is a powerful candidate in addressing and fixing the IoT challenges and obstacles. Finally, we present how LoRaWAN can handle these problems supporting our discussion with the details of the LoRaWAN characteristics.
