WHAT TO CONSIDER WHILE DESIGNING FOR LOW-POWER LTE-M, NB-IoT, AND LPWA APPLICATIONS

When designing Low-Power Applications for Cellular IoT, CAT-M and NB-IoT Networks, everything from the semiconductor to the band it runs on, makes a difference.  

Learn about LPWA networks and what to consider during development in order to maximize connectivity, extend battery life, and make IoT devices more easily accessible. 

Key points:

  • The webinar explains the advantages of standards-based LPWA, the two branches of LPWA technology and the four Cs of LPWA: Cost, coverage, current and capacity
  • It gives a smart home analogy and a medical lab transport example
  • LPWA power considerations are different from Smartphones. CAT-M1 and NB-1 low power techniques are explained
  • Considerations for design include: low power, 2G fallback, multi-mode support, embedded SIMs, integrated GNSS, reference designs and scalable form factor
