This document provides an overview of LoRaWAN and cellular IoT technologies and how they complement each other for Internet of Things applications. It finds that LoRaWAN and cellular IoT (LTE Cat-NB1, LTE Cat-M1) represent different market segments, with LoRaWAN serving large numbers of low-cost, low-power devices with low data rates and cellular IoT being more suitable for higher bandwidth applications. The document concludes that combining LoRaWAN and cellular IoT solves the needs of all IoT use cases and that LoRaWAN will be complementary to cellular technologies for IoT.
