South Korean network carrier SK Telecom plans to develop its Internet of Things technology and its LoRaWAN network. The “long-range wide-area” network transmits small amounts of data below a speed of 5 kilobits per second from battery-enabled objects to base stations across large distances. The network is a cost-effective, power-efficient solution that could create new IoT technologies and services such as remote monitoring or wearable tracking devices. The LoRaWAN network has been available in Korea since last year, with SK Telecom working with around 540 clients to create new technologies.
