Connect your application via NB-IoT

Use the NB-IoT coverage of the 1NCE IoT SIM Card as a smarter connectivity solution for your IoT application. Commonly rely on such IoT radio technologies as 2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE-M, there are also other use cases where NB-IoT is more suitable because of its key properties.

 

These two properties of NB-IoT are its high range and penetration rate as well as its energy-saving features. NB-IoT coverage means it should be used for devices that are located far below the earth’s surface and for which no mobile radio connection could otherwise be established via the common radio technology standards. Furthermore, NB-IoT data network coverage is also suitable for cases where devices are expected to have a long service life, and they only need a connection to the network every now and then. With NB-IoT, devices can be put into a deep sleep during the times when they do not need to measure, send and receive data, in the so-called “power saving mode”. This saves the device battery consumption, which means that the device can remain connected to the network and in use for a long time without external power supply or maintenance. 

 

The big advantage of choosing the 1NCE IoT SIM is that you do not have to decide on a single radio standard for your IoT application. The 1NCE IoT SIM card has an innovative multi-mode functionality. This allows the IoT SIM card to connect to all available wireless standards (2G, 3G, 4G, LTE-M) in addition to NB-IoT and seamlessly switch between them as needed. All with a single IoT SIM card and at a single price.

1NCE Customer Example: Smart Corona Alarm Made Possible via NB-IoT

Sentinum has developed a Smart Corona alarm connected by NB-IoT. After scientists discovered that the Corona virus is most likely to be transmitted through the air we breathe, Sentinum developed the Febris CO2 sensor to measure the quality of the air breathed based on the levels of CO2. When CO2 levels exceed predetermined limits, the sensor triggers an alarm to allow users to manage their desired ventilation levels. 

To meet the challenge of collecting and analysing data as quickly as possible, Sentinum needed an energy-saving mobile connectivity solution with good building penetration. The NB-IoT data coverage is the perfect solution for this. Sentinum uses our 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat as an Industrial IoT eSIM for their CO2 sensor and thus has the mobile connectivity soldered directly onto the sensor’s PCB. The transparent connectivity costs could be calculated directly into the sale price of their solution.

What is a NB-IoT SIM card?

An NB-IoT SIM card is designed to operate within the Narrowband Internet of Things network. It is used in the devices that transmit low amounts of data infrequently, concentrating on battery efficiency. In this way, devices are able to operate for years on a one single battery. NB-IoT SIM cards frequently contain features that prioritize low-power consumption and are compatible with the NB-IoT protocol. 

What is the difference between NB-IoT and LTE?

LTE (Long-Term Evolution) is related to high-speed data transfer. It works in applications requiring significant bandwidth, for instance video streaming and fast internet browsing. On the other side, NB-IoT network coverage is often applied to low-power and low-bandwidth use cases, such as smart meters, and asset tracking.  

What is NB-IoT network coverage?

NB-IoT is designed for extended coverage compared to traditional cellular networks. This can be achieved via improved link budgets, allowing signals to penetrate deeper into buildings, underground locations, and remote areas. This is widely used across applications where devices are located in challenging environments. 

What is the range of NB-IoT?

The range of NB-IoT differs based on multiple factors: terrain, obstacles, or network deployment. It was created for long-range communication, reaching several kilometers in open areas. NB-IoT penetration capabilities enable reliable connectivity in indoor environments, where traditional cellular networks may underperform. 

What is NB-IoT technology?

NB-IoT is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) radio technology standard designed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). It's often used within cellular devices requiring low power consumption, long-range communication, and power efficiency. It focuses on connecting a large number of devices that transfer small amounts of data over long periods.
