How LTE Cat 1 and LTE 450 modules support 2G and 3G IoT applications
Experts explain how organizations can use LTE Cat 1 and LTE 450 to replace applications currently served by 2G and 3G
As 2G and 3G sunset, systems integrators must quickly but carefully choose replacement technology. Recent analysis demonstrates how LTE Cat 1 supports a broad range of IoT applications typically enabled by 2G and 3G networks, such as smart grids, connected mobility and wireless payment. For less data-intensive applications typically associated with LPWA, such as smart meters, LTE 450 provides an energy efficient and long-range alternative.
In this Masterclass, our experts explain why LTE Cat 1, LTE Cat 1 Bis and LTE 450 connectivity are ideal for replacing applications currently served by 2G and 3G networks, and the steps IoT organizations should take to get this process underway. We explain the circumstances in which to choose either type of connectivity, and the specific applications to which each are best-suited. Speakers will also introduce the Quectel product portfolio and provide an overview of their USPs.
