The availability of SENSECOM equipment is determined by the network coverage and the quality of the antennas

Key features of nationwide network :

NB-IoT:

1. Low Power Consumption: Devices can operate for years on a small battery.
2. Extended Coverage: Capable of penetrating hard-to-reach areas, such as basements or rural locations.
3. High Device Density: Supports a massive number of connections (up to 50,000 devices per square kilometer).
4. Cost-Effective: Economical for both manufacturers and consumers, suitable for large-scale deployments.
5. Availability: Provided by mobile operators in most countries around the world (directly or roaming). NB-IoT is usually takes part of LTE band.

SIGFOX:

1. Very Low Power Consumption: Devices can operate for years on a small battery. Lower consumption than with NB-IoT.
2. Extended Coverage: Lower penetration than with NB-IoT, but with longer distance to base stations. The signal is received by all available stations in perimeter simultaneously.
3. Middle Device Density: Supports a big number of connections (up to 5,000 devices per square kilometer).
4. Cost-Effective: Economical for both manufacturers and consumers, suitable for large-scale deployments. Lower price of devices than with NB-IoT.
5. Availability: Provided by SIGFOX franchised operators in many countries around the world (automatic roaming).
6. Short messages: suitable for telemetry, data volume limited to a few bytes and 140messages per day.
