WEIGHTLESS ALLIANCE
NB-IoT
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) radio technology standard developed by 3GPP.
In comparison to LTE-M and LTE Cat 1, NB-IoT supports:
-
lower power consumption
-
extended range
In comparison to other LPWAN technologies: Weightless and LoRaWAN
-
Significantly more power consuming; optimal battery life is achieved with Weightless/LoRaWAN
When we use it
-
applications with fairly infrequent 2‑way data
-
backhaul for LPWAN Base Stations
-
indoor mobile applications - tracking / handover
