LPWAN Technology

The document compares four low-power wide-area network technologies: LTE-M, NB-IOT, LoRa, and Sigfox. LTE-M and NB-IOT are 3GPP cellular standards that operate on licensed spectrum bands using OFDMA, while LoRa and Sigfox are proprietary technologies that operate on unlicensed spectrum using FSK modulation. Key differences between the technologies include available spectrum, channel bandwidth, throughput, transmission power, and interference mitigation techniques.
