LTE-M / NB-IOT and LoRa are two completely different techniques, which have a similarity in how they are applied. Both networks are energy efficient and wireless, and only transmit sensor and machine information. The choice is best based on where you want to implement your solution, and power consumption requirements.

Two of the most used and now mature IoT networks are LoRa and LTE-M, the attractive aspect of both technologies is that they are ‘Low Power’ networks. This is important for IoT devices with a limited energy supply. In this article we take a closer look at both techniques and what the differences are between the networks.

IoT connectivity ensures that your installations, devices and sensors communicate via your own mobile internet access. We use the M2M, LTE M and NB-IOT connectivity forms to achieve this. With our portfolio of IoT connectivity options, Thingsdata offers the right mobile data solution for every application. How do you choose the most suitable IoT connectivity solution for your specific application? In this article we explain which choices can be made.
Sigfox, which raised more than € 300 million in venture capital and had ambitions to build a global communications network through a new approach to wireless networks, has filed for bankruptcy in France. Referring to slow product sales and challenging conditions in the IoT market due to Covid-19.
The TRB255 gateway has a wide variety of hardware and software features: LTE Cat M1, NB-IOT Cat M1, SMS control, firewall, open VPN and IP-SEC. The TRB255 gateway is backward compatible with 2G networks. This gives the option to upgrade existing devices and it also ensures that when the 2G network is switched off, your installations and equipment are accessible with the support of the new IoT connectivity forms: LTE Cat M1 or NB-IOT Cat M1. The compact design of this gateway makes it perfect for applications that require a reliable internet connection with a guarantee of continuity and high uptime.
LPWAN stands for Low Power Wide Area Network. An LPWAN is a wireless network with low energy consumption, which allows communication with the network. The network has a large range (several kilometers) with a low bit rate. An LPWAN’s main purpose is to collect information. Although it is often possible to send information in both directions. There are different types of networks that meet these criteria and thus fall under the name LPWAN, such as LoRaWAN, NB-IOT, LTE M and Sigfox.
In the first half of 2020, the share of connected IoT devices with an unlicensed LPWA network (LoRa and Sigfox) had a lead of 53%. The licensed LPWA networks (LTE M and NB-IOT) contributed 47% of the global LPWAN connections. One year later, the licensed LPWAN market leads with a 54% share and is currently growing strongly. An important reason is that NB-IOT and LTE M grew very strongly in the first half of 2021. NB-IOT now dominates the global LPWAN market while LoRaWAN is slowly declining. With LoRaWAN, the choice is often made for a private LoRaWAN.
