Connectivity Systems We Use
NB-IoT
NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a standards-based low power wide area (LPWA) technology developed to enable a wide range of new IoT devices and services. NB-IoT significantly improves the power consumption of user devices, system capacity and spectrum efficiency, especially in deep coverage.
LoRaWAN®
The LoRaWAN® specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery operated ‘things’ to the internet in regional, national or global networks, and targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localization services.
LTE CAT M1
LTE CAT M1 – officially known as CAT M1– is a low-power wide area (LPWA) cellular technology that specializes in transferring low to medium amounts of data (200 – 400 kbps) across a wide geographical range.
​
With low power requirements, LTE CAT M1 greatly improves the time that devices can be spent in the field, which also limits the amount of time that needs to be spent replacing batteries or updating firmware, reducing human capital requirements and increasing cost efficiency. Plus, LTE CAT M1 features a power-saving mode that automatically activates when devices aren’t sending or receiving data, improving operational efficiency while reducing resource waste.
GSM & SIGFOX
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to describe the protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks used by mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets.
​
SigFox is a Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Devices connected using SigFox consume little power and operate over large distances compared to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection protocols, which consume more power and work best in short range.
