LoRa
For a LoRa unit to connect to the internet it requires a gateway. The closest gateway to Ålesund is currently in Molde.
The price of a new gateway would probably be in the vicinity of 1100 kr. The range of the LoRa gateway will be dependent on positioning, line of sight, antenna performance and bitrate.

2 | The price of NB-IoT is lower due to lower bit rate | Not caveated |
Assessment
Nr | Fact | Comment | Assumption | Assessment | Conclusion |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | The range of the LoRa gateway will be dependent on positioning, line of sight, antenna performance and bitrate. | There are no LoRa units in the vicinity of Ålesund. | It is likely that the LoRa device will have an estimated range of 7 kilometers. This means that there has to be a LoRa device within 7 kilometers for each measuring device. | ||
2 | Telia network is stationary and widespread. | The price of NB-IoT is lower due to lower bit rate. | The NB-IoT is highly likely the better choice from Telia. Telia NB-IoT is likely more reliable than LoRa. | Row: 1, 2 Answers to: PIR 1, SIR 1.1, SIR 1.2 Conclusion: NB-IoT seems to be the general better solution due to reliability. LoRa could however be a good decision if the range is sufficient. | |
