[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a cellular technology focused on connecting to the Internet low power devices that don’t need to send high amount of data to the Internet. The NB-IoT is the newest LPWAN technology ready to get deployed.

NB-IOT, like Sigfox and LoRa, among others, is one of the technologies focused on connecting to the Internet everyday objects that required small amounts of data over long periods of time. These technologies are coined under the term Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN).

Narrowband-IOT is designed from the telco perspective with the aim to bring the future of IoT connectivity in a more secure, global and reliable way. It is ideal for devices that generate low data traffic and have a long life cycle and that move all around the world.
