Vodafone Business is at the forefront of next generation Internet of Things technology with Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT).
Our service provides long range communication and allows up to 10 years battery life and helps businesses connect a wide range of assets. Watch this video to learn more about NB-IoT.
Like NB-IoT, LTE-M is an ‘industrial grade’ LPWA solution, it runs on licenced spectrum which guarantees quality of service.
This cellular technology supports two way communications such as voice, and is designed specifically for LPWA applications.LTE-M has a higher throughput and enhanced performance compared to NB-IoT. LTE-M also has a low device cost, and is compatibile with existing cellular network infrastructure, which has the same level of security as LTE.
