NB-IoT Technology

NB-IoT is a 3GPP-compliant, low-power wide-area (LPWAN) technology based on cellular networks. 

Using narrowband modulation (180 kHz), it delivers strong signal penetration with lower data rates. The architecture involves devices connecting to base stations, core networks, and IoT platforms.

NB-IoT modules feature deep sleep modes (PSM, eDRX), ensuring ultra-low power consumption, and flexible two-way communication for reliable and energy-efficient remote monitoring. It delivers strong signal penetration with lower data rates.

The architecture involves devices connecting to base stations, core networks, and IoT platforms.

NB-IoT modules support key power-saving features, enabling battery life up to 8–10 years under typical usage.

The design supports common frequency bands (Band 5, 8, 20, 28), robust antenna and shielding for stable performance even underground or in remote areas.

Modular, standardized interfaces (UART, RS-485, USB) allow easy integration, future upgrades, and simple maintenance for diverse smart water metering applications.

NB-IoT provides strong indoor/underground coverage, supporting large-scale deployments—one base station can serve hundreds of thousands of endpoints. 

Security is enhanced by SIM-level authentication and end-to-end encryption. It supports smart metering, valve control, and industrial/urban/rural monitoring.

NB-IoT modules are easily integrated with sensors, valves, and cloud platforms, supporting customized solutions and flexible data management for evolving smart utility needs.
