What is NB-IoT?

NB-IoT is a Low Power Wide Area Network technology designed specifically for IoT. It is based on cellular networks and therefore operates in a licensed spectrum. NB-IoT provides efficient and reliable connectivity for IoT, whilst having low power consumption, extended coverage and a high penetration rate. It is optimised for applications that require long battery life, infrequent data transmission, and reliable communication in remote or challenging environments. This technology enables a wide range of IoT applications, such as smart metering, asset tracking, agricultural monitoring, environmental sensing, and smart city deployments.

NB-IoT has gained popularity as a solution for large-scale IoT deployments that require long-range and efficient connectivity. Not every provider has enabled the NB-IoT technology for their networks yet or officially discloses it. Contact us for more information on the possibilities for NB-IoT for your devices.
