IoT Applications with LoRaWAN, Sigfox & NB‑IoT

In today’s IoT deployments – from smart metering and asset tracking to remote monitoring – selecting the right wireless technology is crucial. LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB‑IoT each offer unique strengths that suit different use cases. Here, we outline practical examples, compare the technologies, and help you make an informed decision.

LoRaWAN is ideal for private wireless networks offering medium to long range and low power consumption. Common in agriculture, industry, and infrastructure, it can operate without monthly fees if you own and manage the gateway.

Sigfox uses ultra-narrowband on unlicensed spectrum – perfect for transmitting very small data packets over long distance with minimal power. Suited for simple sensor tasks like status or fill-level updates.

NB‑IoT is a licensed cellular standard offering excellent wall penetration, stable connection, and moderate data rates. It’s especially effective in dense or urban environments, such as in asset tracking or smart metering applications.

• Power efficiency: Sigfox > LoRaWAN > NB‑IoT
• Data rate: NB‑IoT > LoRaWAN > Sigfox
• Cost: LoRaWAN (private) < Sigfox, NB‑IoT (subscription/SIM)

Whether you're deploying a simple sensor network, a city-wide solution, or an industrial setup – we support you with expert advice, pre-configured hardware, and commissioning services.
