Easy to deploy, no gateway required. Higher data throughput capacity, better support for the use cases required mobility (vehicle and asset tracking). Cost of individual device is higher than NB-IoT and LoRaWAN devices but less hardware to maintain (no gateway required
Easy to deploy. The deployment cost is higher than NB-IoT as a separate gateway is required. Medium scale deployment is more affordable as one gateway can connect multiple devices. LoRaWAN device cost is lower than NB-IoT & Cat-M1.
