NB-IoT stands for Narrowband Internet of Things and is a technology specifically designed to support the Internet of Things (IoT) by enabling an efficient, wide and energy-efficient way to communicate. This technology uses a smallband radio technology and falls under the LTE network. NB-IoT is designed to provide a simple structure that allows deep penetration, ideal for reaching devices in hard-to-reach areas such as underground or deep inside buildings.
One of the biggest advantages of NB-IoT is its exceptionally low power requirement, allowing battery-powered devices to operate for many years without the need for a replacement. This makes NB-IoT perfect for applications where little data is sent sporadically, such as sensor measurement data. In addition, NB-IoT offers very good coverage over large areas and high connection density, meaning that a large number of devices can be connected simultaneously. This technology is also cost-effective because it uses existing mobile network infrastructures and has a low cost per module.
At Capestone, we implement NB-IoT technology in various solutions to improve the efficiency and functionality of IoT systems. Our NB-IoT solutions are particularly suitable for smart meters and city lighting, where reliable, continuous connectivity is essential for monitoring and managing infrastructure. In the agricultural sector, NB-IoT also offers great benefits for monitoring soil conditions and irrigation systems, leading to better water management and higher crop yields. In addition, NB-IoT makes it possible to apply asset tracking in logistics, which helps companies optimize inventory management and ensure the safety of loads. By integrating NB-IoT, Capestone is helping companies transition to smart, connected operations that are future-proofed.
