  1. NB-IoT vs LTE-M

  2. Let’s talk about NB- IoT vs LTE- M  • To be specific, NB-IoT & LTE-M  are the most common technologies used today. NB-IoT is deployed in both 2G & 3G networks & LTE-M can specifically for 4G. Both have proven valuable and reliable in real-world IoT situations, which has led many telecommunication companies worldwide to install at least one of these technologies or plan to shortly. Research shows that 47 LTE-M and 98 NB-IoT networks are active worldwide as of November 2020. [2] • For a more detailed understanding let’s dig deeper, 

  3. What is NB- IoT? • As the name suggests, Narrowband IoT uses a single narrowing of radio frequencies to help lower power consumption at the cost of available bandwidth. According to the LTE standard, it has a maximum bandwidth of 200kHz. • The following are some NB-IoT applications, • Smart Cities • Smart Buildings  • Smart Farming  • Waste management • Manufacturing automation

  4. What is LTE-M?  • LTE-M specifically refers to LTE CAT-M1, suitable for the IoT. It’s a low-power wide-area technology that supports IoT through lower device complexity. The device connects directly to a 4G network without a gateway and uses only batteries. Note that the term LTE-M refers to only the addition of LTE to 4G technology, not that every 4G device supports LTE-M automatically. • The following are some LTE-M applications, • Asset Tracking • Wearables  • E-health solution • Low-density sensors

  5. Comparison Between Both Technologies

  6. Conclusion  • IoT offers you a variety of possibilities, technologies, and solutions, so if you’re still unsure which option best suits your application. Whether you go with an LTE-M or NB-IoT solution doesn’t matter until it’s up to your IoT needs. There might be situations where you might end up needing both technologies.  • For example, smart city applications, and waste management, where sensors report how full a city dumpster is. No one’s some wizard, so it’s impossible to predict which LPWAN technology will work out the best. But looking at current statistics, both LTE-M and NB-IoT can have clear uses in certain situations.
