Choosing the appropriate communication technology for outdoor applications has been a challenge over years and led to many different options. This makes it difficult for designers and users to chose the best option for their setup as each option has unique pros and cons. In this paper, we evaluate and compare NB-IoT and BLE regarding their applicability for a smart viticulture scenario. We study how the node density and system energy consumption varies for various configurations and are thus able to highlight challenges in deployments as well as trade-offs between the technologies
