Japanese operator KDDI and telecoms equipment and service provider Ericsson, have announced<\/a> the successful joint verification of cellular Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies. The verification includes Cat-M1 and narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technologies.
\nEricsson’s LTE base stations, including those in KDDI’s network, can support cellular LPWA through Ericsson’s new software product, Massive IoT RAN. This gives KDDI the possibility to deploy a comprehensive range of IoT applications quickly and flexibly.
\nThe two companies will continue to study possible use cases enabled by LPWA technologies. LPWA networks are designed for\u00a0IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications that have low data rates, long battery lives, are low cost, operate in remote and hard to reach locations. LPWA technologies\u00a0are well suited for\u00a0deployment across a number of different verticals such as utilities, agriculture, manufacturing, wearables and transport.
\nThe announcement follows the 3rd Generation Partnership Project\u2019s (3GPP)\u00a0decision to standardise three Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) technologies\u00a0<\/a>in licensed spectrum. Ericsson and KDDI verified cellular LPWA technologies are based on 3GPP standards. Ericsson’s network equipment supports both Cat-M1 and NB-IoT.<\/p>\n

The growth of LPWA in China<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 
\nThese developments took place against the backdrop of Mobile World Congress Shanghai, which\u00a0featured a\u00a0wide range of live LPWA demonstrations<\/a> in the agricultural, industrial, home and smart city sectors. For the second year running, industry experts explored the potential of LPWA at the event’s ‘IoT Summit’, which saw significantly more attendees over the year before.
\nAccording to the GSMA\u2019s CTO Alex Sinclair Alex Sinclair, \u201cThe GSMA\u2019s Mobile IoT Initiative is working with China\u2019s mobile network operators to deliver commercial LPWA solutions in licensed spectrum to accelerate adoption and transform the development of the Internet of Things in areas such as agriculture, automotive and utilities.\u201d
\nChina\u2019s machine-to-machine (M2M) market will reach one billion connections by 2020, with the majority coming from the developing Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) market, according to a recent report<\/a> by GSMA Intelligence and The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
