LPWAN, OEM Guide and More

Hello Velos IoT Community,

We hope everyone enjoyed their summer break. As usual, we’re excited to share the latest updates and news from our LinkedIn Channel. This month, our focus is on wildfire prevention through IoT, exploring alternatives to the 2G/3G phase-out, comparing LTE-M and NB-IoT network technologies, providing a quick guide to OEM operations, and introducing the newest members of our team. Let’s dive in!

Wildfire prevention with IoT

Summer's dry conditions heighten wildfire risks, but with IoT sensors and our extensive global connectivity, you can detect and respond to early warning signs before they escalate. Protecting forests and communities is now more achievable than ever.

Why is IoT Connectivity crucial for wildfire prevention?

• Real-Time Alerts: Enables immediate detection and response.
• Remote Coverage: Monitors hard-to-reach areas effectively.
• Swift Action: Facilitates quick emergency responses.
• 24/7 Surveillance: Ensures constant monitoring.
• System Integration: Links sensor data with emergency systems.

Understanding the differences between LTE-M and NB-IoT

Choosing between LTE-M and NB-IoT can significantly impact your IoT strategy. LTE-M is perfect for high-data, real-time applications, while NB-IoT excels in low-power, static environments. Make sure you’re using the right technology for your needs.

Key Takeaways:

• NB-IoT: Ideal for low-cost, low-data, static applications with strong indoor coverage and minimal interference.
• LTE-M: Offers higher data rates, low latency, and is suitable for both static and mobile devices, making it a preferred choice in Western markets.
• LPWAN Selection: Choose NB-IoT for cost efficiency and LTE-M for robust, real-time connectivity.
