1MA296: Narrowband Internet of Things Measurements

This section briefly covers the basics of NB-IoT. For a more detailed description, please refer to the white paper titled 1MA266 - Narrowband Internet of Things. Though specified under 3GPP LTE (Release 13), NB-IoT actually represents a new physical layer. This means that NB-IoT is not backward compatible with LTE. From the beginning, the specification of NB-IoT included considerations for its coexistence with both LTE and GSM. Parts of the physical layers of LTE were reused in NB‑IoT. As the name suggests, a narrowband signal is used. NB‑IoT is therefore primarily for low data rates applications that are quasi‑stationary and battery‑powered. There is no need to specify handover scenarios, however the number of devices is expected to be quite large. Sensors are a good example. In addition, LTE specifies eMTC for higher data rates.

Creating secure IoT device identities

whitePaper | December 5, 2022

IoT applications are extremely vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks as they control both data access (often personal or sensitive) and connected devices. Without proper security, IoT technology will not grow as projected nor live up to its true potential in the marketplace. This paper focuses on how to create secure IoT device and sensor identities, fostering data access and interaction across devices in a trusted ecosystem.
