3. What is NB-IOT ..
Narrowband IoT is a Low Power Wide Area Network radio technology standard developed to enable a
wide range of cellular devices and services.
5. Why
• IoT devices transmits small data sets. But generic networks designed for highspeed
data transfers
• Low power consumption
• NBIoT’s Indoor coverage and penetration is very high compared to GSM
• Spectrum utilization
• Large number of connections per cell
• Carrier grade higher security
6. Where can we use this
.
NB-IoT
eMTC (CatM)
Designed for fixed IoT Devices
Designed for moving IoT Devices
7.
8. When
• Sri Lanka is the first South Asian country that deployed NB-IoT network
commercially
• Currently we have two carriers which supports NB-IoT in the country
• Dialog LTE-M (eMTC)
• LTE-M will be activated across all LTE sites in the 1800MHz band
• Dialog NB-IOT
• NB-IOT will be deployed in the 900MHz band
11. Don’t limit to prototype
• Small formfactor
• GPS enabled
• NBIOT/eMTC support with SIM7000
• Fallback support for GSM network
• Battery support
• Pinout for common sensors
• Able to manufacture in very low cost
Can get manufactured board from LankaTronix
