Nb-iot do IoT products, win on the Internet flexible configuration, be fast, save electricity.

NB-IoT can directly eliminate the need for an external MCU

Power consumption: nb-iot wins more for gsm, nb

Real-time transmission, NB-IoT wins big (smart lock)

For smart locks, a remote unlocking command can't make the enterprise customer stand for a few minutes before unlocking the lock, it has to be able to unlock the lock immediately.

If we use NB-IoT to do it, we only need NB-IoT to standby in DRX mode, lte iot module the power consumption is about 1mA, and we don't need to establish a long connection. The total standby operating current is 1mA.

The power consumption of smart lock is 2/3 lower when using nb than when using gsm, and the push information of base station is more stable than that of server.

Low latency data transmission, NB-IoT wins big (locator)

The locator and anti-loss device products receive the server control command after a few minutes, which is a "low-latency transmission" scenario.

If we use NB-IoT, we can turn on to eDRX mode, and the delay of sending time can be adjusted to 5 minutes, and the total standby current is within 0.2mA.

The power consumption of the locator using NB is nearly 90% smaller than that of GSM.

High latency data transmission, NB and GSM tie (remote meter reading)

Remote meter reading, data collection, etc. are only once or twice a day, or even once every few days. At this time, although the average power consumption of GSM and NB can differ by 1-2 times, the base is very low, less than 0.01mA, which can be considered to have little impact on actual usage.

Describe an LTE modem.

In order to connect to any device, LTE modems offer a connecting interface. LTE modems also include a built-in wireless adapter, allowing you to utilize the Internet when outside your home, traveling throughout your city, or having a picnic in a park or open field.

Is LTE used for data or voice?

VoLTE, or Voice over LTE, is another name for HD voice, while Verizon sometimes refers to it as Advanced Calling. VoLTE, which stands for Voice over LTE, is comparable to VoIP, or Voice over IP, which is the practice of placing calls over the Internet. The utilization of the carrier's LTE data network through VoLTE is the only distinction.

Does IoT equate to AI?

IoT is a theory founded on the mere notion of common physical things having direct Internet communication capabilities. Contrarily, artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that aims to build intelligent machines that can perform tasks as well as or even better than humans.

Do NB-IoT devices need SIM cards?

With our 4G LTE-M/NB-IoT devices, you'll need a SIM card that works on these networks in order to connect to the internet. It can be confusing to use different designations for the same network; for example, Cat-M1 and LTE-M are often used interchangeably.
