The modern world is becoming more and more automated and intelligent. Hence, the importance of having a technology that is capable of collecting, processing, sending and receiving data is essential. Internet of Things, or IoT for short, is made for that. IoT has already revolutionized the world, but still most of its capacity is unused. IoT network technologies are the part of the IoT that makes sending and receiving data possible. The topic of this Bachelor’s thesis is the performance of the IoT network technologies, concentrated on four technologies. The technologies are Bluetooth Low Energy, ZigBee, LoRaWAN and Narrowband-IoT. One main point on this thesis is to find a suitable technology for an application that collects sensor data and remotely controls devices over the Internet in near real-time. The most important features of the studied technologies for this thesis are energy efficiency, network topologies, maximum number of devices on the network, data transfer rate and latency. The basic structure of the technologies is also presented. At the final comparison, technologies are compared by for which application technology is suitable and how it suits the mentioned application. The given results show that LoRaWAN is not an ideal technology when devices need to be controlled in near real-time without latency. Bluetooth Low Energy is a suitable technology when the application needs fast bit rate. Narrowband-IoT is suitable technology when the reception of the 4G is strong enough. ZigBee’s wide range, good energy efficiency, large capacity and reliability makes it a suitable technology when the reception of the 4G is not strong enough.
