Leveraging Cellular IoT Technologies
In this chapter, we will provide an overview of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) cellular IoT technologies with 5G, covered in Chapter 5, Validating 5G with IoT. There are specific LPWA LTE technologies called LTE Category M (which we will refer to as LTE-M) and Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT), which are primarily used in low-power enterprise cellular IoT solutions. Both of these LTE LPWA technologies will be covered in this chapter. As we will describe, there are unique features of LTE-M and NB-IoT that have helped drive the global cellular IoT device market to reach 2 billion in 1H21 (IoT Analytics, 2021) with the number of cellular IoT connections expected to reach 3.5 billion in 2023 (Ericsson 2022). While in 2020, ...
