LPWAN TECHNOLOGIES FOR IOT DEPLOYMENT

Nowadays, with the increase in the number of factories and production units being automized with IoT. The need for LPWAN networks is required as the deployment of IoT based LPWA networks allow for remote access of different end nodes. This paper shows that Sigfox is useful in applications that require long-range communication, whereas NB-IoT is useful in applications that require massive data to be transferred. It is shown that each technology is equally crucial for LPWAN deployment, as each protocol comes with its advantages and disadvantages.
