and gas)
Long life cycle
Advantages of LTE CAT1/0
Leverage existing coverage of
LTE
Low-cost, secure solution
Native-IPv6 and extended sleep
modes in the standard
Fitness Band
Needs
Always-on connectivity
Low-bandwidth, uplink mostly
Low-power
Advantages of LTE CAT0
No need to tether to and carry a
