AT&T Lights Up Narrowband IoT Network

AT&T turned on its narrowband IoT network. "It’s a big step toward massive IoT and 5G,” blogged Chris Penrose, AT&T Business president-IoT solutions. It complements AT&T’s existing IoT network -- called LTE-M for LTE Cat M (see 1705180058) -- launched last year (see 1806200022), Penrose said Monday. "With NB-IoT, we now have two complementary Low-Power Wide Area networks -- including our LTE-M network in the U.S. and Mexico,” he said.
