Internet of Things: The Budding Area of Mobile IoT Technologies (LTE-M and NB-IoT)

Abstract

This paper explores the growing field of mobile IoT technologies and looks at the requirements and characteristics of these technologies. With a deeper focus on Long Term Evolution for Machines (LTE-M) and Narrow Band-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), we look at how different industry operators and governments have provided service for these technologies. The paper also looks at edge computing an issue that arises with Mobile IoT Technologies. In cases where solutions have been developed, we explore the design and deployment process. Findings proved that mobile IoT Technologies specifically LTE-M and NB-IoT will be a great asset to IoT Technologies.
