As the cellular LPWA networks continues its rapid expansion and more and more LTE-M and NB-IoT devices are being deployed in the global market, it becomes crucial to uncover network’s ecosystem parameters and supported capabilities.
IoT Guide: Hybrid Cellular/Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN)
The satellite IoT market is set for a shot-in-the-arm in the coming decade because of two recent developments: the deployment of constellations of LEO satellites and the arrival of cellular connectivity using ‘Non-Terrestrial Networks.
IoT Solutions in the Energy & Environment Sector Resources
The GSMA 5G-IoT community is dedicated to advancing technology in the energy and the environment sectors. As a result of this cross-industry collaboration, we have a range of outputs that can serve the wider ecosystem.
GSMA Internet of Things is an initiative to help operators add value and accelerate the delivery of new connected devices and services in IoT. This is to be achieved by industry collaboration, appropriate regulation, optimising networks as well as developing key enablers to support the growth of the IoT in the longer term.
Our vision is to enable the IoT, a world in which consumers and businesses enjoy rich new services, connected by an intelligent and secure mobile network.
IoT Solutions – Energy & Environment Sectors
IoT Technology
Adoption of 5G and the IoT is being driven by a number of factors, including increased demand from consumers and enterprises and the availability of more affordable devices. Significant operator investment in 5G technology, spectrum and infrastructure, together with the implementation of global standards, are also helping drive growth and increase market interest in the IoT. AI, Cloud computing and Edge computing will help handle the data volumes generated by the IoT, as 5G boosts network capability.
Further 5G enhancements, such as networking slicing, private & dedicated networks and 5G core, will ultimately help realise the vision of a global IoT network, supporting a massive number of connected devices.
Massive IoT
The 5G networks being deployed today are building on 4G networks, which employ both LTE for Machines (LTE-M) and Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) technologies, which will evolve into Massive IoT within 5G delivering the functionality required to support narrowband use cases.
Critical IoT
IoT applications that are time critical and latency dependent using the 3GPP-specified ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) standard.
Broadband IoT
When IoT applications need to send or receive large amounts of data in a short period they will use the 3GPP-specified enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) standard which is part of 5G.
