In South Africa, Sigfox continues to dominate IoT deployments — and it’s easy to see why: ✅ Easy to use ✅ Low-cost devices ✅ Just a few lines of code to get started
But here’s the catch: ⚠️ Limited network flexibility ⚠️ Very low data throughput ⚠️ Poor fit for industrial or mission-critical use cases
On the other hand, LoRaWAN offers: 🔧 Full control over private networks 💡 Better scalability and customizability 🛠️ But at the cost of complex setup: gateways, servers, databases… and $$$
So, what’s the real solution? 👉 Don’t choose one protocol — choose based on the use case. At addanode, we help clients deploy Sigfox, LoRaWAN, and 4G/NB-IoT — depending on power, cost, and data requirements.
Because in IoT, there’s no one-size-fits-all.
📡 Flexibility wins.
