This document provides an overview and comparison of LoRa and NB-IoT low-power wide area network (LPWA) technologies. It discusses that both technologies were developed for applications requiring long battery life and low data rates. LoRa is an unlicensed standard based on chirp spread spectrum modulation, while NB-IoT is a licensed narrowband cellular standard developed by 3GPP. Key differences are that LoRa has lower device costs and supports higher latencies, while NB-IoT can leverage existing cellular networks and has higher data rates. In conclusion, LoRa is a new dedicated technology for IoT platforms, while NB-IoT uses existing cellular infrastructure.
