That's by design:

You could run 4G LTE off the spectrum if you wanted to. That's what Sprint was doing before they were forced to vacate. 4G would run just fine off the 700 and 800 mhz blocks.

But that is not where we want to be.

The company is building an IoT network based on LoRa/LoRaWAN (Long Range) which is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology.

The technology allows for data transmitted by an end-node device to be received by multiple gateways, which forward the data packets to a centralized network server. This means there is high-availability built into the communications.

This is perfect for IoT since it requires low power.

It also has built-in security, unlike other technologies.

While LoRa/LoRaWAN can operate on unlicensed spectrum, we are putting it on licensed spectrum, meaning there will be no interference and you can put an SLA behind it.
