India’s LPWAN Networks Expand to Meet Smart Cities IoT Demand
India is on its way to implementing its government’s mission of enabling 100 smart cities in the country and is reported to be considering the second phase of its program, Smart City Mission 2.0, to enable 4,000 smart villages, towns and cities.
This requires plenty of investment in both networks and the ecosystem, from chips and devices all the way to applications and services. We got a snapshot of this at the LoRaWAN Live conference in New Delhi last week, where we heard about implementations of everything from smart water metering and smart agriculture to smart parking. Under the theme, ‘smart tech for a smart sustainable planet’, players in the ecosystem highlighted some of their projects and challenges.
