New: NarrowBand IoT connectivity

Connectivity solution for Internet of Things devices.

NarrowBand IoT or NarrowBand Internet of things is a new communication standard that enables access to a potentially large number of devices that need to transmit small amounts of data (a few bytes) sporadically. This connectivity provides better coverage and longer sensor battery life.

Key applications include meter reading, public lighting control, alarms and infrastructure control systems.

IoT devices make it possible to digitise the physical and the environment through telemetry or the use of connected sensors. These devices are already proving their worth in a wide range of industries, including logistics, energy, agriculture, livestock, tourism, banking, natural resources, transport and healthcare. They also enable us to anticipate and prevent incidents and work more efficiently. To ensure this efficiency, you need adequate, robust and secure connectivity, which is what we offer with NarrowBand IoT.
