What is NB-IoT?
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) is an LPWAN technology developed to connect IoT devices with low bandwidth requirements over cellular networks. It enables energy-efficient communication.
Why is it used?
- Wide coverage: Works even in remote or underground areas.
- Long battery life: Requires little to no maintenance for years.
- Low data cost: Ideal for small data packets.
- Operator support: Operates on existing mobile infrastructure.
Use cases
- Meter reading and energy monitoring
- Agricultural monitoring sensors
- Smart parking solutions
- Environmental data collection
