ISM Bands vs Cellular IoT inside LPWA
summary
Compares Sigfox (very low data, uplink focused) and LoRa (uplink/downlink, geolocation, private networks) against cellular LPWA: NB‑IoT and LTE Cat‑M1. Claims NB‑IoT gains scale with NB‑IoT ~2M devices projected and Cat‑M1 trailing at Cat‑M1 ~1M, cites smart metering, smart farming, logistics as winners, notes LoRa already in mass production while cellular stacks sit in proofs of concept, flags roaming and cost tradeoffs and customers targeting devices <$10 which current cellular modules struggle to meet.
