- The largest contiguous wireless network in the world provides extensive coverage, reducing the need to purchase and manage additional infrastructure
- Highly competitive connectivity costs enable initiatives to scale — the average sensor costs only $1.05 per year (for a sensor sending data every 5 minutes)
- Accessible and easy to use with compatible off-the-shelf LoRaWan devices
- Built on open source standards, increasing access to open source projects that attract companies to build and/or utilize smart devices and avoid issues such as vendor lock-in and high hardware costs
