Industry 4.0 mandates a Connected World Everywhere. The next generation communication network comprises billions of humans and devices. Towards this end, 3GPP has ratified a Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) standard to enable a wide range of IoT devices, access networks and services. NB-IoT, standardized as part of 3GPP Release 13 provides large coverage (35 Km) with devices operating at very low power levels ensuring more than 10 years of battery life. This can be used for large-scale M2M and IoT deployments in Industry 4.0 for applications like enterprise, industrial facility and appliance management, mining, agriculture and farming, oil & gas, metering, logistics, e-health and others.

Azcom has introduced a new product line to the existing portfolio – Low power Industrial IoT NB-IoT Small Cells. This state-of-art solution provides connectivity to hundreds of devices to interact seamlessly with the network thus offering ubiquitous connectivity.
