NB-IoT vs LoRaWAN: Which Fits Which Project?
Both are LPWAN options � one is carrier SIM cellular, the other runs on your own gateways. We compare range, cost, roaming and operations.
Snapshot
| LoRaWAN | NB-IoT | |
|---|---|---|
| Spectrum | Unlicensed (regulated) | Licensed cellular |
| Infrastructure | Your gateways | Carrier |
| Power | Very low | Very low |
| Mobility | Limited | LTE-M better; NB-IoT for fixed |
| Typical use | Campus, plant, farm, building | Meters, deep-indoor sensors |
When LoRaWAN?
- Dense sensors, gateway economics
- Private network / data residency
- Milesight / Dragino ecosystem
? What is LoRaWAN? � Gateway guide
When NB-IoT / LTE-M?
- Scattered sites where gateways are hard
- Carrier SLA and billing preferred
- Deep indoor (always field-validate)
Hybrid reality
Many plants run LoRaWAN on site + cellular backhaul (Teltonika). Complementary, not exclusive.
Bottom line
Map coverage first, then assemble sensors/gateways/routers from IoTMarketi.
