Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/09/2016 -- The 3GPP is standardizing three cellular communications approaches to Wide Area Network (WAN) communications for the Internet of Things (IoT). These three methods are known as EC-GSM-IoT/3GPP, LTE-M/3GPP, and NB-IoT/3GPP. There is also a non-cellular alternative Low Power WAN (LPWAN) approach that allows for long range communications at a low bit rate. LPWAN technologies represent a great threat to incumbent mobile network operators as $10 LPWAN radios are capable of ten-mile ranges with 10-year battery lifetimes. This provides an attractive alternative to cellular-based communications, especially for certain low-volume transaction applications for IoT.

This research evaluates IoT WAN technologies, companies, and solutions. The report assesses developments in the IoT WAN ecosystem, analyzes use cases, and provides a view into the future of IoT WAN communications. The report includes detailed forecasts for cellular and non-cellular IoT WANs 2016 to 2021.

Key Findings:

- Non-cellular technologies will compete heavily for dense coverage, low-data rate business

- Cellular IoT WAN will provide greater coverage on a per-unit equipment basis and also optimal roaming

- Key supporting technologies such as data compression will be critical to the sustainable operation of LPWANs

- Extended Coverage-GSM-IoT (EC-GSM-IoT) will lead Cellular IoT WAN revenue with 40% market share through 2021

- The greatest revenue potential for IoT WANs will be from Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) followed by smart cities

Target Audience:
- Non-cellular CSPs
- IoT network providers
- Mobile network operators
- Semiconductor companies
- Embedded systems companies
- 4G/5G/IoT equipment providers
- IoT app developers and aggregators
