T-Mobile US launches NB-IoT network
July 20, 2018 By Zenobia Hegde T-Mobile US is laying claim to a narrowband Internet of Things first, with the official launch of a new narrowband IoT network that operates in guard bands. The carrier said that its service is the first NB-IoT network in the U.S. and the first one in the world that leverages guard bands, which are narrow slices of unused spectrum meant to separate frequency ranges and prevent interference. “By lighting up NB-IoT in the guard bands – the network equivalent of driving down the shoulders on the highway – T-Mobile can utilise precious spectrum resources most efficiently, and IoT applications don’t have to compete with other data traffic for network resources,” the carrier said in its announcement. Verizon has said that it plans to launch an NB-IoT network by the end of this year; the operator already offers LTE-M services. Last month, AT&T said that it plans to launch an NB-IoT network in the U.S. in early 2019 and Mexico in late 2019, to complement its existing LTE-M networks in those countries. T-Mobile US ...

July 20, 2018 By Zach Supalla The hype around 5G and its relation to the IoT (Internet of Things) industry has been growing exponentially since its initial launch in 2012. So far, numerous telecoms have promised that 5G will be the next-generation mobile network that provides everything from superfast bandwidth speeds, to ultra-low latency, to ten-times the geographic coverage. However, the attempts to decode what all this means for product creators and enterprises who have some investment in 5G and IoT typically lacks real substance and clarity. While 5G networks may fundamentally transform mobile cellular networks, they are still in early deployment stages despite the just-around-the-corner narrative that is being spread.

July 20, 2018 By Zenobia Hegde Korean telecom operators KT has been using technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analytics to monitor and analyse air quality 24 hours a day, with the aim of contributing to government-led efforts to reduce fine dust levels, Korean press reported. In September 2017, KT launched its “Air Map Korea” project, to collect air quality data by installing monitors at its nationwide infrastructure including 4.5 million telephone poles, 330,000 mobile base stations, 60,000 public phone booths, and 4,000 central offices in Korea. During the first phase of the project, KT installed air quality monitors at its 1,500 main telecom service stations in major cities, including Seoul. The Korean telco operates the observation network through an integrated fine dust control center at the KT Intelligent Network Support (INS) unit in the city of Gwacheon. Through this monitoring center, the telco can check for errors or failures in the observation network. Once the control center detects the failure, technicians are sent immediately to the location. KT’s observation desk collects a wide ... Read more...
