What does LPWAN mean?

Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) is a type of wireless telecommunication Wide Area Network (WAN) that enables long-range communications between connected devices with minimal energy requirements. It is designed for low-power, battery-operated devices that have relatively low data rate requirements.
LPWAN is a type of radio-based connectivity for the transmission of small amounts of data over long distances. It is widely for wireless data communication for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and Machine to Machine (M2M) applications.
