The Truth About IoT Protocols: Where Z-Wave Long Range, LoRaWAN, and Other Wireless Technologies Really Work
Avi Rosenthal, Olivier Beaujard
Selecting the right wireless technology for an IoT deployment is rarely straightforward. While specifications provide a starting point, real-world implementations reveal tradeoffs that are often less obvious—across range, topology, latency, power consumption, and scalability.
This panel brings together experts across multiple wireless ecosystems to compare how technologies like Z-Wave, LoRa, and Wi-Fi HaLow perform in practice. Panelists will share deployment experiences, discuss where different approaches succeed or fall short, and explore how system requirements—from building automation to large-scale distributed networks—drive technology decisions.
The discussion will also examine how hybrid and multi-network architectures are emerging, and what that means for interoperability, system complexity, and long-term maintenance.
Designed for engineers and product teams, this session offers a candid, experience-driven look at how to evaluate and combine wireless technologies for real-world IoT systems.
