Compare the difference between NB-IoT and IoT cards in detail?

The Internet of Things is developing rapidly, but the speed of popularization of Internet of Things knowledge needs to be improved. As a result, many people have no concept of the Internet of Things, or have only a half-knowledge. Next, the editor will introduce the difference between narrowband Internet of Things and Internet of Things from the difference between NB-IoT narrowband Internet of Things and Internet of Things cards.

1. What is NB-IoT?
Narrowband IoT refers to transmission with relatively low bandwidth. Such transmission can save energy and have a longer battery life. This kind of narrowband IoT is only suitable for transmitting simple control signals, not suitable for big data, such as music and video. Signal.
2. NB-IoT is the advantage of narrowband IoT
Narrowband Internet of Things NB-IoT is an emerging technology in the field of Internet of Things, which supports the cellular data connection of low-power devices in the wide area network, also known as low-power wide-area network.
Mobile communication is moving from the connection between people to the connection between people and things and between things. The Internet of Everything is an inevitable trend. However, the current 4G network is not capable enough to connect things. NB-IoT has the characteristics of wide coverage, multiple connections, fast speed, low cost, low power consumption, and excellent architecture. It can bring more abundant application scenarios and become the main connection technology of the Internet of Things.
3. The difference between NB-IoT and IoT card
① Different network protocols are used. NB-IoT is based on narrowband IoT, which is different from the 2G/3G/4G network used by IoT cards.
②Different application scenarios. Narrowband Internet of Things NB-IoT is used in devices with high network requirements and transmission content requirements, while IoT cards are often used in scenarios with relatively large network requirements and transmission content, such as the monitoring industry equipment etc.
③ The billing methods are different. NB-IoT adopts two methods of billing by traffic and billing by the number of connections, while the Internet of Things card adopts the billing method of billing by package traffic. Módulo GPRS
4. Future development trend of NB-IoT
NB-IoT is currently the most widely used scenario in smart cities, such as smart meter reading instruments, smart manhole covers, smart locks for shared equipment, and so on. NB-IoT is a cellular-based narrowband Internet of Things. It is a new network protocol in 3GPP LTE Release 13 and is compatible with existing LTE networks. It is one of the alternatives to GSM network. In the future, it can be further upgraded to meet 5G requirements and become a part of 5G. With the acceleration of the smart city process and its gradual popularization, more and more smart devices will adopt NB-IoT in the future.
The above is the difference between the NB-IoT narrowband Internet of Things and the Internet of Things card, and introduces the narrowband Internet of Things and its future development trend in detail. I believe that after reading it, you can clearly identify which IoT card should be used for enterprise hardware equipment.
