Mobile operator Vodafone<\/a> UK has announced that their national 4G<\/a> (mobile broadband) network can now support the Long Term Evolution<\/a> for Machines (LTE-M or CAT-M) standard, which is a type of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) service that can connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices.<\/p>\n

Such networks tend to only use a tiny amount of spectrum bandwidth (often just 1.4 – 5MHz) in order to deliver fairly slow mobile data speeds (often sub-1Mbps, although they can go up to 7Mbps), albeit with wide geographic coverage. But this is largely irrelevant since the small IoT kit that LTE-M is designed to connect usually only require speeds of 0.1Mbps+ (e.g. traffic lights, environment sensors, asset tracking etc.) and are often battery powered.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> LTE-M is a useful IoT alternative to older 2G networks, which will be switched-off by 2033 (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

The new offering is designed to sit alongside Vodafone<\/a>’s existing 4G<\/a>, 5G<\/a> and Narrowband-IoT services (NB-IoT), as well as the wider partner ecosystem, to enable Vodafone<\/a> to work with any business irrelevant of the technical requirements of the IoT use case (i.e. not all IoT devices are designed to use the same communication technologies).<\/p>\n

Take note that NB-IoT is a separate but similar technology. Vodafone states that LTE-M and NB-IoT differ through the “typical download\/upload speeds (300kbps and 20kbps respectively)<\/em>“, while NB-IoT is optimised for difficult to reach locations and batch data upload (such as underground water pipes or smart meters in basements), and LTE-M for mobility (such as asset tracking and wearable devices) or event-based connectivity.\u202f <\/p>\n

Nick Gliddon, Business Director of Vodafone UK, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have a data-led business, decisions are driven by insight not by assumption. IoT has the potential to revolutionise business, but we must make it accessible to all.<\/p>\n

The power of LTE-M is the ability to choose the right tools for the right job. 5G<\/a> might be the right choice for some IoT use cases, whereas LTE-M might be better for others. By enabling LTE-M to sit alongside 4G<\/a>, 5G<\/a> and NB-IoT, we are providing a technology-agnostic solution for customers. This is about picking the right solution, at the right price point.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, it’s worth noting that Vodafone are a little late to the LTE-M party, since other network operators (e.g. O2<\/a>) have been supporting it for several years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
