LTE-M and NB-IoT Crash Course is a 2-day
customized LTE training focuses on fundamentals
of LTE access technology focusing on LTE-M and
NB-IoT. The training course provides an in-depth
overview of the various aspects of the new
LTE-based radio, LTE-M connectivity and NB-IoT
concepts optimized for IoT. Internet of Things
(IoT) has demonstrated a clear market need for
many utility, power and energy business use
cases, sensors must have battery-efficient
connectivity to unlock the true potential of
IoT. LTE-M is the simplified industry term for
the LTE-MTC low power wide area (LPWA) technology
standard published by 3GPP in the Release 13
specification. It specifically refers to LTE Cat
M1, suitable for the IoT. LTE-M is a low power
wide area technology which supports IoT through
lower device complexity and provides extended
coverage, while allowing the reuse of the LTE
installed base.  This allows battery lifetime
as long as 10 years or more for a wide range of
use cases, with the modem costs reduced to 20-25
of the current EGPRS modems. LTE Cat-M technology
is one of the two answers that 3GPP has for the
rise in IoT-only network technology.

The other 3GPP technology is NB-IOT (Narrowband
IoT), which uses an even simpler access scheme
(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple
Access) to further drive down cost and
complexity. As a dedicated LPWAN standard, IoT
LTE-M enables lower costs, small footprints and
innovative low-power optimization. It fills a
growing need for IoT solutions and is driving the
marketplace forward as billions and billions of
new devices get connected. There is not one ideal
IoT modem that is one-size-fits-all. The type of
application will determine the appropriate type
of modem, and it is likely that as the technology
develops, the capabilities of modems and range of
modem options will expand as well.

NB-IoT and LTE-M Enable IoT Applications
Today LTE-M (also known as eMTC and Cat-M1) and
NB-IoT are both good connectivity options for
industries looking to take advantage of Low Power
Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology. But which
is the best choice for your low-power IoT
application? Deciding between LTE-M and NB-IoT
requires an understanding of the key differences
between these two technologies, such as latency
and speed. Carefully consider what your needs are
before you decide on a solution. After
analyzing the similarities and differences
between LTE-M and NB-IoT, you can make an
informed decision that will set your system up
for success well into the future.
