NB-IoT is one of two 5G LPWAN standards (the other is called LTE CAT-M1). NB-IoT and LTE-M have excellent energy consumption and power-saving features; they are great for saving a lot of energy compared to other cellular standards. There are different technologies and functions within each of these two to do that. If you have …
I am continuing with the eighth post in my series LoRaWAN vs 5G. As I was speaking about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), I found it appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the current 5G standards for LPWAN. In the last post, we compared the cost of …
IoT is democratising. I spoke about that in my last keynote at the Things Conference. IoT can be an excellent resource for gathering data. Data from sensors or trackers, or a combination of sensors and trackers. Data can be transmitted via your private LoRaWAN network or your 5G LPWAN operator. The data can be collected …

I am continuing with the sixth post in my series LoRaWAN vs 5G. I was invited to speak about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), and this post will be published after the event. To be prepared, I found it appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the current …
I am continuing with the fifth post in my series LoRaWAN vs 5G. As I was speaking about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), I found it appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the current 5G standards for LPWAN. In the last post, we compared security and touched …
This is the recording of my keynote-session at the ThingsConference. Here is the description of the keynote: 5G vs LoRaWAN -it is just LPWAN The wireless landscape is ever-changing. The public networks are entering the 5G era, where everything from massive IoT to mission-critical communication will be under one umbrella, 5G. For years LoRaWAn and …
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is an LPWAN technology developed to enable many devices to be connected to the internet using mobile networks. The standard is part of both 4G and 5G. Designed to allow for massive IoT, NB-IoT is a low-power, narrowband technology that can support small data packets and bidirectional transmission in an efficient, secure …
I am continuing with the fourth post in my series LoRaWAN vs 5G. As I am invited to speak about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), I found it appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the current 5G standards for LPWAN. In the last post, we compared coverage. …
The SIM slot is empty, but the device is still connected to the mobile network. Why is this? We all know what a SIM card is; we can visualize what it looks like. Now the concept of eSIM is coming across the board, but there are new integrated SIM cards that are even more optimized …
