operator transformation and social demands based on the development status of Internet of Things. Its development
prospect is analyzed and the key technology of LPWAN (low-power wide-area network) is classified. Through
analyzing and predicting the development trends of key technology, it is found that NB-IoT (narrow band Internet
of Things) is the most potential technology of LPWAN, and smart meter, intelligent environmental protection, smart
parking and intelligent wears are the main application scenarios. The results have the theoretical value and
practical significance for the Internet of Things of China.
