Everynet, an international network operator for national LoRaWAN® networks, along with Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI), announced yesterday the launch of the national LoRaWAN® Internet of Things (IoT) network in the United States. The first phase of Everynet’s national network rollout will include the top 36 metropolitan areas and key logistics corridors across the United States. They are expected to go live by the end of 2021.
To enable the network, Everynet will utilize Crown Castle’s tower assets of more than 40,000 cell towers and nearly 80,000 route miles of fiber. With a 15-year commitment, Everynet projects that LoRaWAN customers, across the U.S., can monetize their deployments such as smart sensors or monitoring tools.
“Expansion to the U.S. market is an important part of our global development. Our ultra-low-cost networks are already live across the globe, and we are pleased to enable nationwide, no CAPEX, turn-key IoT networks for our CSP partners,” said Lawrence Latham, CEO of Everynet. “Everynet networks deliver carrier grade connectivity, with built-in resilience, security and meaningful SLAs without any need for network CAPEX from our wholesale customers.”
“It was an easy decision to work with Everynet to build out their LoRaWAN IoT connectivity. We both see the long-term value of LoRaWAN in the U.S. and embrace shared infrastructure access for customers. We look forward to helping Everynet go live with a much-needed network,” said Paul Reddick, vice president of strategy, business and product development for Crown Castle.
