LTE Prepares for the IoT Age

The Internet of Things (IoT) is perhaps the most buzzed-about opportunity out there when it comes to wireless, and no wonder: Over the past decade, digital technologies have begun to blanket our lives, forming the backbone of a large, intelligent infrastructure that can support, in theory, billions of new connected devices. And as traditional mobile broadband subscriptions reach the saturation point in the U.S. and other developed markets, connecting things rather than people opens up potentially lucrative new revenue streams to keep business growing. But the IoT isn’t a one-size fits all proposition, nor are the traditional wireless players the only ones interested in exploring that landscape. To address the market successfully, mobile network operators (MNOs) are looking at a cornucopia of new LTE standards that will allow them to optimize their IoT offerings to specific applications tweaking for metrics like cost-performance ratios and battery life. The growing technology standards arsenal ranges from EC-GSM to CAT M to 5G and beyond.
