Tata Communications has announced it is to roll out a LoRaWAN ( long - range wide area network ) in Mumbiai , Delhi and Bengaluru , following successful trials of the low power network in the region . this allows IoT and M2 M devices to communicate with each other over large distances , but crucially prevents this in unlicensed spectrum space . LoRaWAN signal can reportedly penetrate through water , and up to 50 m underground , giving the capability of extremely remote sensors . The first phase of Tata 's plan involves deployment of 10 million people across Tier 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 cities .
