Low-Power Wide-Area Networks

Low-Power Wide-Area Networks are a form of wireless communication technology that can provide longe range, low power communication. 

They operate on minimal power and can go as long as several years without need for battery replacement

They can transmit data over long distances and are capable of penetrating through buildings and underground areas, and works in ares without traditional wireless technology in rural areas.

They are suited for transmitting data at low bit rates which is all our device would require and it is capable of supporting a large number of devices so it would be effective in both high and low desalt populated areas

It is low cost and affordable to run
