5G vs LoRaWAN distance

5G vs LoRaWAN part 2: distance

I am continuing with the second post in my series LoRaWAN vs 5G to prepare for the upcoming ThingsNetwork conference. As I am invited to speak about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), I thought it was appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the different, current 5G standards …

The new 5G NR+ standard is ready to break boundaries

Tvärt emot vad vi väntat oss skulle hända.

New dawn for the private radio networks

A new dawn for private radio networks?

Our view of security in communications infrastructure is changing, with a demand for security and availability when it’s needed becoming more widespread.
