The Internet of Things serves as a platform for the deployment of several applications, each with a set of differents features. This project develops profiles of typical IoT applications to be tested using two LPWAN technologies: LoRaWAN and Sigfox. The profiles of applications represent devices in Smart Cities, e-Health, and Smart Farming, simulating its features in an experimental development platform with a development board. The results shows better performance for Sigfox, but it depends of the infrastructure of the networks and the programming of the devices. With these tests, this project aims at proposing a guidance for IoT developers that need to choose the communication technology that better suits an IoT application.
