LoRaWAN as LTE-M/NB-IoT network extender
summary
Claims that LoRaWAN acts as LoRaWAN microcells to extend LTE‑M/NB‑IoT coverage, filling densification and battery‑life gaps while lowering infrastructure cost. Demonstrates a working USB LoRa dongle that either uses an internal LTE‑M/NB‑IoT modem for backhaul or plugs into a router to create local LoRa coverage. Positions this as a complementary layer that boosts operator ROI and reaches low‑power metering and smart‑ag use cases otherwise hard for LTE‑M/NB‑IoT to serve.
