Overview of the similarities, differences, and applications of Cat-M1 and NB-IoT
Cat M1 and NB-IoT are two of the most popular ways to connect to the Internet of Things today. Understanding the use cases and their differences is important to find the right technology to support a specific use case.
Technically, any connection can do the job, but choosing the perfect IoT solution for your project can improve the quality of service, cost savings and operations Here are the differences between LTE CAT-M1 and NB-IoT.
What is Cat-M1 (LTE-M)?
Cat-M1/ LTE Cat-M
LTE-M (LTE Cat-M or Cat-M1) is a new mobile data standard for the growing Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) market. It is best suited for transmitting low to medium data over a long range.
Cat-M1 provides fast enough bandwidth to replace many current 2G and 3G IoT applications. It differs from NB-IoT in several other ways: Cat-M1 supports cell tower switching, so it works with mobile applications such as asset tracking and fleet management.
It also supports voice capabilities in IoT applications, such as medical alert devices and home alarm systems.
Using 1.4 MHz of bandwidth, the standard also has enough throughput to transmit firmware, software, and other security updates to IoT devices, including a full Linux operating system-something NB-IoT cannot do.
In addition, Cat-M1 supports both full and half duplex, which means enterprises can reduce power consumption and increase battery life by choosing half duplex. It’s faster, with upload and download speeds of 1 Mbps and lower latency of 10 to 15 milliseconds.
Cat M1 Use Cases
The most common use cases for Cat-M1 include wearable devices such as fitness bracelets, smart watches, automated teller machines (ATMs), asset tracking, health monitors, and alarms. It is also widely used in metering applications, security surveillance, building monitoring systems, and telematics.
It also has some crossover with NB-IoT and can work with smart meters and industrial monitors.
What is Narrowband IoT?
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT or NB1)
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT or NB1) is another new mobile data standard for the growing Low Power Wireless Applications (LPWA) market.
NB-IoT has an uplink speed of 66kbps and a download speed of 26kbps in half-duplex mode, which means that data is carried in one direction at a time. It also has a latency of 1.6 to 10 seconds.
It operates at a bandwidth of 180 kHz and can be deployed in the protected band part of the LTE network, which is between channels in the unused part of the spectrum.
As a result, it excels in IoT projects with wide coverage, offering an impressive seven times better protection than current technologies such as CAT M1. narrowband IoT offers better building and obstacle protection.
NB-IoT relies on a simple waveform for connectivity, and it consumes very little power compared to LTE Cat M1. As a result, NB-IoT devices can provide better building and obstacle penetration. This also means that NB-IoT devices cannot send as much data as LTE Cat M1.
NB-IoT use cases
The most common use cases for NB-IoT include smart gas, water, and electricity meters, innovative city applications such as smart street lights and parking sensors, and other remote sensing applications that do not send data as frequently or in large volumes.
These include HVAC controls, industrial monitors, and agricultural sensors that monitor irrigation systems and detect leaks.
