such as a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) including NB-IoT and eMTC, and a Cellular Broadband Network with 3G and 4G LTE capabilities, as well as Fibre Optic internet connections (AIS Fibre).
NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet-of-Things) / eMTC (Enhanced Machine-Type Communication)
NB-IoT and eMTC are the standard connections used by the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) from the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The same goes for 3G and 4G devices which are specially designed for IoT equipment and solutions, and serve as the foundation of the future 5G network.
NB-IoT and eMTC provide the functional support for IoT equipment and can be used for 10 years without having to change the battery. They can be used in hard-to-reach areas, such as underground pipelines and shafts in high-rise buildings, without compromising the 4G LTE safety standards. This technology increases connectivity potential while reducing power constraints, and is suitable for usage by Solutions groups, such as Smart City, Smart Industrial, Smart Logistics, and Smart Home.
