Comparation of LoRa and NB-IoT

Abstract

When people use Internet of Things (IoT), they should consider many factors, such as node cost, network cost, battery life, data transmission rate, delay, mobility, network coverage and deployment type. It can be said that no technology can satisfy all the needs of IoT. NB-IoT and LoRa technologies have different technical and commercial characteristics, so they differ in application scenarios. In this paper, the differences between the two will be elaborated.
