AT&T and Deutsche Telekom are the latest telco giants to throw more weight behind cellular-based low power wide area (LPWA) networks, both having recently announced new technological milestones ahead of its commercial availability next year.
\nLast week, AT&T confirmed<\/a> they will be partnering with a series of major technology parts and service providers in an IoT pilot which will run on the North American Operator\u2019s LTE-M network. Like other Mobile IoT technologies,<\/a> LTE-M is specifically designed to support devices which use low data, operate in remote locations and rely on long battery life.
\nAs one would expect, these features will enable a range of new services, a variety of which will be demonstrated during the pilot including: smart water meters, connected vehicle and asset management, smart city sensors, connected vending machines and a range of wearable devices.
\nMeanwhile, Operator, Deutsche Telekom<\/a>, claimed to have activated the world\u2019s first fully standardised NB-IoT (another Mobile IoT technology) network in Germany. The company confirmed that its Dutch subsidiary, T-Mobile Netherlands, will be hosting a live demonstration of the technology on next week.
\nSince the 3GPP standardisation<\/a> of the three cellular LPWA technologies (EC-GSM, LTE-M and NB-IoT) earlier this year, a number of Operators have moved rapidly in demonstrating their Mobile IoT capabilities. Last month, Vodafone<\/a> and KDDI<\/a> claimed to have completed benchmark Mobile IoT trials, both citing a range of new connected solutions enabled by their new respective technologies.
\nWith successive high-profile partnerships and demonstrations ahead of the commercial launch of Mobile IoT in 2017, analysts appear to be more confident that the LPWA market consolidating around cellular standards.
