What are NB-IoT and LTE Cat M1?

Within the Internet of Things (IoT), speed is not always the most important factor. 
For many sensors and meters, it is mainly about low energy consumption, good coverage, and a reliable connection.

NB-IoT and LTE Cat M1 are cellular IoT technologies developed for connected devices that send small amounts of data over longer periods.

NB-IoT is particularly suitable for fixed sensors and meters, for example, for monitoring water and energy consumption, temperatures, and other measurement data.

LTE Cat M1 is more suitable for applications that require more mobility, lower latency, or slightly higher data consumption.

At Master Chips, we distribute various sensors and solutions that utilise these technologies, including products from Milesight IoT, ATIM Radiocommunication, and Adeunis.
