Blockchain is not a specific IoT connectivity technology, but rather a distributed ledger technology used for secure data sharing and transactions.

LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) technologies, such as LoRaWAN and Sigfox, are optimized for long-range communication with low power consumption, making them suitable for IoT devices with limited battery life.

5G is the fifth generation of cellular technology, offering significantly faster speeds, lower latency, and increased capacity compared to previous generations.

Satellite connectivity can provide global coverage, making it suitable for connecting IoT devices in remote or underserved areas where terrestrial networks are unavailable or unreliable.

Wi-Fi is a widely adopted wireless technology that enables short-range, high-speed communication between devices within a limited area.

LPWAN technologies are designed to provide long-range communication, enabling IoT devices to connect over wide areas with low power consumption.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication refers to direct communication between devices without human intervention, enabling autonomous data exchange and control.

Satellite connectivity can be expensive compared to terrestrial networks, especially for large-scale IoT deployments.

Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC) is a 5G technology designed to support a vast number of connected devices with low data rates and latency requirements.

5G offers ultra-high bandwidth, enabling IoT devices to transmit and receive large amounts of data quickly.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the use of IoT technologies in industrial environments, enabling connectivity and data exchange between machines, sensors, and systems.

Wi-Fi provides high bandwidth, enabling IoT devices to transmit and receive large amounts of data quickly.

Zigbee is a low-power wireless technology commonly used for connecting smart home devices, such as lights, thermostats, and sensors.

LPWAN technologies typically offer low bandwidth, limiting the amount of data that can be transmitted and received by IoT devices.

Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a low-power wide-area network technology designed for secure and reliable communication in critical applications, such as smart metering and industrial automation.
