What is narrowband IoT (NB-IoT)?
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a wireless internet of things (IoT) standard that uses low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technology. It was developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for connecting IoT devices to established mobile networks. NB-IoT is one of the three main 3GPP LPWAN standards. NB-IoT enables small amounts of infrequent two-way data […]
