LPWAN and Blockchain, the future of IoT
summary
MXC outlines a deployed LPWAN that plugs sensors into blockchains via Polkadot for tokenized bandwidth and data markets, claiming 20 km range, 10-year battery life, and gateways sold at about €300 that relay tiny packets (max ~50 bytes) over LoRa. Use cases already live: garbage‑bin telemetry, smart parking, streetlight control in Suwon, disaster sensors in Japan, and Deutsche Bahn station monitoring. Plan includes an interchain data exchange on Polkadot and tokenizing free‑license spectrum so machines pay for uplink/downlink.
