Abstract
Sigfox, LoRaWAN and NB-IoT are the best known LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technologies, which allow for large scale deployments of IoT applications. This survey assesses the suitability of those technologies to known IoT use cases by testing the available services in challenging environments near and within Tartu, Estonia. The resulting analysis gives insight about the best services to use for static sensor, mobile tracking or remotely operated device based applications. Testing is conducted on the FiPy development board by Pycom. In addition to the services, a self-made LoRaWAN gateway is also built and tested in parallel.
