What are the advantages of NB-IoT communications?

1. Large capacity: Under the same base station, NB-IoT can offer 50 to 100 times connections than that of existing wireless technologies. 2. Wide coverage: In the same frequency band, NB-IoT improves the gain by 20 dB when compared with existing cellular networks, significantly optimizing indoor coverage. 3. Low power consumption: NB-IoT PSM and eDRX modes prolong the standby time to several years and even over 10 years. The standby power consumption of an NB-IoT chip is milliwatt-level. In PSM mode, the communication chip's power consumption is microwatt-level. 4. Low cost: Low rate and low bandwidth simplifies the design and reduces the NB-IoT chip and module costs. Consumers and home appliance vendors do not need to deploy networks themselves and connect IoT devices to mature, stable, and reliable operators' networks, reducing operations and maintenance costs.
