Why NB-IoT?
LTE grade
security
LTE grade security comes as standard. Ensure data and network resiliency with NB-IoT.
Widely
supported
NB-IoT is widely supported within the industry, from chipset manufacturers to service providers.
Two-way communication
Bi-directional communication allows you to send and receive data via NB-IoT.
164dB propagation
NB-IoT provides the deepest and furthest reach of any LPWA network.
Low power consumption
NB-IoT’s low power attribute makes it perfect for connecting battery-powered smart devices.
Low frequency, high penetration
NB-IoT is a low power wide area network (LPWAN) technology that offers low frequency connectivity for long-range communication with better penetration capabilities than 2G. Narrowband IoT is designed to keep your devices connected in hard-to-reach places such as underground locations and deep urban infrastructure.
LPWAN technology
LPWA networks communicate wirelessly over long distances whilst maintaining low power consumption. Due to its wide signal coverage and maximised energy-efficiency, LPWAN is shaping the future of IoT connectivity. In fact, the number of devices connected via LPWAN is increasing at a rate of 109% each year.
- LPWAN devices can run on batteries for 10 years+ without a single charge
- Receive long-range connectivity, even in underground locations such as car parks and basements
- LPWAN is low-bandwidth – most applications only require a few bytes per day
How does NB-IoT stack up against the competition?
NB-IoT technology utilises the licensed spectrum for device connectivity, meaning it comes with the security features used by MNOs. Competitors of NB-IoT, Sigfox and LoRaWAN, use the unlicensed spectrum where interference and security vulnerabilities are much more likely to occur, limiting the quality of service. NB-IoT gives you peace of mind when it comes to network and data security.
What applications of NB-IoT are currently available?
NB-IoT offers cost-efficient and effective connectivity for a vast range of IoT solutions and applications. If your IoT devices span a wide geographical radius or need to operate in remote areas, and your data and energy consumption is low, NB-IoT could be the perfect choice for you. Here are just a few examples of how Narrowband IoT is currently being used…
