ITPEC IP April 2022 — Question 34 of 100

LPWA provides long-range wireless communication with very low power consumption and relatively low data rates. Low Power Wide Area technologies are designed for small, infrequent IoT messages rather than high-speed media. Sensors can therefore operate on batteries for years while communicating over distances of several kilometers.

Answer (b)

Why not others:
- (a) describes machine learning

- (c) describes blockchain and its hash-linked ledger structure

- (d) describes a wireless LAN security method such as WPA rather than a wide-area IoT network

Key rule: LPWA trades communication speed for wide coverage, low power use, long battery life, and support for many IoT devices.
