Cellular - an Overview
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a Cellular communication standard, which operates in licensed spectrum. LTE is also referred to as fourth generation (“4G”) of cellular communication technology. The standards for LTE are defined by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). 3GPP is a worldwide standards organization that develops protocols/ standards for cellular telecommunications.
LPWAN cellular technologies are for low-power, low transmitting speeds, low-cost module and devices, with low data usage per month, and wide area coverage. Existing cellular technologies were not designed to cater low power application, hence cellular LPWAN technologies covers scenarios for which existing mobile network technology is not suitable. These cellular LPWAN refers to low power wide area networks (LPWAN) in licensed spectrum. 3GPP specified LTE-M (LTE-MTC) and NB-IoT (Narrow-Band IoT) to address the fast-expanding market for low power wide area network (LPWAN) connectivity.
Application Areas and Use Cases
Customers using LPWAN Technologies require small data volumes, a low cost contractual obligation, low energy consumption and the possiblity for a massive number of devices.
