Fastest-Growing LPWAN Technology for Smart City Use Cases

LoRa Alliance^® to Participate in Smart City Expo World Congress with Exhibit, Sitewide Deployment, Hands-on Demos and an Industry Reception

Fremont, Calif. – October 22, 2025 – The LoRa Alliance^®, the global association of companies backing the open LoRaWAN^® standard for internet of things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), today announced that the smart cities market is experiencing continued strong growth on the back of a rapidly expanding set of use cases. The Alliance will showcase these developments at its fourth consecutive Smart Cities Expo World Congress (SCEWC) on Stand 62 in Hall 2, alongside several of its member companies, which will share their smart city solutions and success stories.

“The need and desire to make cities smart continues unabated,” said Alper Yegin, CEO of the LoRa Alliance. “LoRaWAN is supporting this need globally with LPWAN technology that is unmatched in the urban environment in terms of performance and ease of use. Several recent announcements, such as Minol-ZENNER’s integration of 10 million LoRaWAN sensors into its network, Tata Communications’ 360,000+ LoRaWAN-enabled smart streetlights across India achieving 27% energy savings, and LORIOT Verso and Plenom’s noise management system reducing noise by 20%, underscore LoRaWAN’s momentum in this market. We’re excited to bring the ecosystem together at SCEWC to show why LoRaWAN is the leading choice for smart city IoT deployments and how “This is the time for cities.”
