LPWAN tipping point – as LoRaWAN passes 125m devices
Semtech and the LoRa Alliance say LoRaWAN has crossed a key adoption threshold in the internet of things market, now powering more than 125 million devices. They argue this marks a tipping point: the installed base is large enough that buyers view the technology as proven rather than experimental, which in turn draws in more vendors, more deployments, and more long-term investment.
In practical terms, this scale signals that LoRaWAN has moved from pilot projects to mainstream use in low-power, wide-area networks. The claim is less about a sudden technical breakthrough and more about market confidence: enough real-world deployments now exist to make LoRaWAN a default option for many IoT use cases, rather than a niche alternative.
