NB-IoT
Launch of Narrow Band-IoT (NB-IoT) across the entire territory of Luxembourg!
This IoT communication technology promises to revolutionize Internet of Things applications, particularly in public services, construction, and the medical sector, by securely and reliably connecting devices to automate many processes that currently require manual monitoring or direct human involvement.
Due to the rise of connected devices and the diversity of applications related to the Internet of Things (IoT), communication protocols are diversifying and specializing. Narrow Band-IoT, a low-bandwidth wireless communication technology, is radically transforming the way connected devices communicate with their environment by combining lower energy consumption, better connectivity penetration, and more affordable deployment costs. All of this makes this technology essential for companies seeking reliable and economical IoT solutions.

By facilitating the adoption of advanced IoT solutions, Telindus enables businesses and public institutions to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and improve customer service. This technological advancement also paves the way for new innovative applications in areas such as energy management, environmental monitoring, public safety, and much more.
What is NB-IoT?
NB-IoT (Narrow Band-IoT) is a standardized wireless communication technology specifically designed for the Internet of Things.
How does NB-IoT work?
NB-IoT relies on existing mobile networks (4G and 5G). One of the major advantages of Narrow Band IoT is its ability to transmit large volumes of data, particularly in the downlink direction.
-
Unlike traditional cellular technologies, NB-IoT uses a narrow bandwidth that allows for better energy efficiency and more extensive coverage than 4G or 5G.
-
Compared to non-cellular technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, NB-IoT offers much greater range and significantly better building penetration, while ensuring security and reliability levels equivalent to 4G or 5G.
Use Cases
This technology is particularly well-suited for stationary sensors located in areas requiring high penetration rates such as basements. It is used, for example, in:
-
Telemetry, for connected water or electricity meters;
-
Parking systems in smart cities;
-
Surveillance systems like fire alarms;
-
Management of certain industrial machines;
-
Monitoring of activities in connected agriculture
- Advantages
- Benefits
Low Power Consumption
NB-IoT devices can operate for several years on a single battery, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
Better Network Penetration
NB-IoT technology ensures reliable connectivity even in basements or hard-to-reach areas, thanks to excellent building penetration.
Large-Scale Deployment
With the capability to support millions of connections per radio cell, NB-IoT is perfectly suited for massive deployments in urban environments.
Reduced Costs
The cost of NB-IoT modules is lower than that of traditional cellular modules, enabling more cost-effective IoT solutions for end customers.
