How does NB-IoT work?
How does NB-IoT work? NB-IoT is a data transmission standard designed to enable devices to operate in mobile carrier networks. NB-IoT technology uses low bandwidth signals to communicate within existing GSM and LTE technologies. Specially designed devices and sensors are the basic components in NB-IoT systems.
Does NB-IoT use MQTT?
MQTT is based on TCP and requires lossless packet replacement. Therefore, UDP protocol and other connectionless network transport layers such as NB-IoT are not suitable for MQTT, due to the possibility of data loss and packet reordering.
Is NB-IoT 4G or 5G?
Is NB-IoT 5G? NB-IoT and LTE-M were initially developed for the 4G LTE standard. However, 3GPP, the standards group responsible for 5G as well as the NB-IoT and LTE-M standards, has made NB-IoT and LTE-M part of the 5G standard.
Does NB-IoT need a SIM card?
In order to get online with our 4G LTE-M/NB-IoT devices, you will require a SIM card that operates on these networks. Network terminology can be confusing - often multiple terms are used for the same network - e.g. Cat-M1 and LTE-M are used interchangeably.
