Abstract
The need to determine which wireless IoT technology, currently available on the market, will be able to support a sizeable simultaneous load of information, types of electrical emergency alarms, required bandwidths, delays-latency, area coverage, and economic cost to serve areas of 600 square kilometers of surface and several users of around two million homes. This article compares Sigfox, LoRa, NB-IoT, and WiMAX technologies as possible solutions for last-mile communications. For this purpose, a network of hundreds of smart meters has been simulated, each transmitting different types of information. In conclusion, it has been obtained that, for a context with the priority of alarms and a large amount of information transport in massive last-mile communications in smart grids and for electrical metering traffic, it is highly recommended that it be done through WiMAX, which in the evaluation shows the best result compared to the other technologies.
期刊介绍：
Ingeniare. Revista chilena de ingeniería is published periodically, is printed in three issues per volume annually, publishing original articles by professional and academic authors belonging to public or private organisations, from Chile and the rest of the world, with the purpose of disseminating their experiences in engineering science and technology in the areas of Electronics, Electricity, Computing and Information Sciences, Mechanical, Acoustic, Industrial and Engineering Teaching. The abbreviated title of the journal is Ingeniare. Rev. chil. ing. , which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
