SMART METERING
Added value for businesses and customers through NB-IoT
Cost reduction: no manual meter reading required anymore
Exact daily measurements
No cost for hardware and maintenance of own local networks
Why Inventing a New IoT Technology?

NB-IoT in a Nutshell The “DNA” of NB-IoT
6
Proven LTE-based security mechanisms
High security
Direct connectivity of the sensor. (No installation and maintenance of local networks/gateways required)
Plug & Play
+20 dB link budget (compared to GSM)
Deep indoor penetration
Worldwide 3GPP industry standard on operator-managed networks in licensed spectrum
Worldwide standard
1) Assuming equivalent of 2 AA batteries and typical traffic pattern 2) Dependent on network utilization and signal strength
Bidirectional, infrequent transmission of low data volumes. Data rates 600 b/s – 250 kbit/s 2)
Low data volume
Up to 100x more devices per cell (compared to GSM)
Billions of devices
Radio module <$5 (industry target), lower total cost of ownership
Low cost
Up to 10 years of battery-powered operation 1)
Low energy consumption

Conclusion
12 25/10/2017
NB-IoT meets the LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) market requirements, e.g. low-power consumption guaranteeing 10-year battery life,
low cost terminal, plug and play, high reliability and high carrier-class network security.
Short time-to-market of new services is possible.
Added value for operators: offering both standardized network layer and standardized service layer.
