The advantages of LTE-M

Performance

With a throughput of up to 1 Mb/s, connect all your objects, including those buried, underground, or semi-underground. This is possible thanks to the low frequencies (800 MHz), CAT-M1 protocol, and Extended Coverage (EC) functionality

High autonomy

Dedicated to the Internet of Things, LTE-M technology provides access to Low Power Wide Area (LPWAN) features. This allows you to offer your device up to 10 years of autonomy

Longevity

Based on 4G technology, LTE-M is natively integrated into 5G, ensuring its longevity.

For durable IoT solutions with the best worldwide multi-operator coverage, deploy mixed NB-IoT/LTE-M devices now

SMS Compatible

Communicate directly with your devices using SMS. Configure and restart your devices remotely and obtain specific information (IP address, signal strength, battery power or level, etc)

Economical

The low cost of LTE-M modules, their high energy autonomy, and the longevity of your investments are sources of saving

Mobility

Thanks to the advantages of 4G, LTE-M allows you to connect your mobile equipment reliably and without interruption, even at speeds exceeding 100 km/h

NB-IoT and LTE-M: complementary technologies

NB-IoT and LTE-M technologies are complementary. The choice mainly depends on the use case and business constraints.

For telemeasurement or Smart Metering requiring very low throughput and battery consumption, NB-IoT is the ideal solution, while for a use case requiring higher throughput to perform software updates, LTE-M is more suitable. Learn more about NB-IoT.

For comparison, NB-IoT has a throughput of 0.25Mb/s, 2G has a throughput of 0.38Mb/s, while LTE-M has a theoretical throughput of up to 1Mb/s
