NB-IoT
NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT) for simple rural, smart-city and utility use-cases.
NB-IoT will provide the most energy efficient solution for applications that are battery or solar powered.
Battery efficient
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.
Long product life cycles
The deepest reach of any LPWA network from basements, underground car parks, water meters or sensors deployed below street level.
Strong signal penetration
NB-IoT was designed to support a massive number of connections per cell.
Mass deployments
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.
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.
Does NB-IoT have any downsides?
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.
