Battery efficient

NB-IoT will provide the most energy efficient solution for applications that are battery or solar powered.

Long product life cycles

NB-IoT helps support long application life cycles for sensor applications where data traffic is low and transferred intermittently, uses batteries/with no mains power.

Strong signal penetration

The deepest reach of any LPWA network from basements, underground car parks, water meters or sensors deployed below street level.

 

Mass deployments

NB-IoT was designed to support a massive number of connections per cell.

NB-IoT

NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT) was designed to support long-battery life requirements in stationary, low-cost sensor devices located in underground or indoor environments where signal penetration is a challenge.

Applications we are connecting with NB-IoT

Environment

Sensors for measuring things like air quality, water levels or counting visitors.

Agriculture

Soil and crop management sensors.

Parking

Sensors to track parking space occupancy and inform traffic management systems.

Metering

Smart Meters deployed in basement or indoor environments where signal strength can be a limited.

Smart City

Passive IoT sensors for measuring pollutants, managing lighting and other city utilities.

Industrial Pumps

Control and condition monitoring of pumps used by water and energy utilities.

Why choose NB-IoT ahead of LTE-M or LTE Cat-1 BIS?

The strengths of NB-IoT are in power efficiency, signal penetration and single-antenna performance. It can work well for organisations with localised (city/regional) deployment models.

 

Compare bearer services

Does NB-IoT have any down-sides?

While some countries have strong NB-IoT coverage, it is not always nationwide in others. Globally there are only around 140 NB-IoT networks and roaming agreements are limited.

Reviewing our technology comparison and coverage checker is essential.

2G & 3G Sunset Toolkit for Enterprises.

Mobile operators across the globe have either already shut down 2G and 3G services or are planning to do so in the coming months and years.
With millions of IoT devices still relying on these services, owners must start planning for the next generation of their solutions now.
Our 2G & 3G sunsetting toolkit will help you:
  • Understand the timing of sunsets in any country
  • Understand the implications for your deployed devices
  • Help you plan and design the next generation of your IoT solution

Don’t get left in the dark.
