Extend battery and device life.
Engineered for ultra-low power consumption, NB-IoT allows your IoT devices to operate longer without needing a battery replacement, increasing revenue and reducing costs.
NB-IoT SIMs made for IoT and M2M solutions
Optimize power consumption, improve coverage, and reduce costs with NB-IoT, a low-power wide-area network made for IoT.
NB-IoT is a low cost and power efficient cellular standard
Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a cellular low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) that includes Cat NB1 and Cat NB2. This technology is ideal for static, power-constrained solutions such as smart meters, environmental monitoring, and smart cities.
Low cost
NB-IoT devices are less complex and come at lower prices.
Deep coverage
Penetrate walls, basements, and other hard-to-reach areas with ease.

NB-IoT SIM vs LTE-M SIM
LTE-M and NB-IoT are developed for IoT, but not suited to all use cases. This comparison table will guide you on the value that LTE-M SIMs or NB-IoT SIMs bring so you can decide which one fits better to your industry or use case.
| NB-IoT SIM | LTE-M SIM | |
|---|---|---|
| Uplink/Downlink | Low (kbit/s). LTE Cat NB2 offers max 159 Kbit/s uplink and 127 Kbit/s downlink. | High (Mbits/s). LTE Cat M2 offers max 7 Mbit/s uplink and 4 Mbit/s downlink. |
| Coverage/Penetration | Great coverage and penetration. | Great coverage and penetration. |
| Global availability | Good availability. Requires new infrastructure that is cheaper to roll-out than standard LTE. | Great availability where LTE already exists. Built on existing LTE technology. |
| Roaming capability | Technically possible, but basically non-existent in reality. Check regions of interest. | Good roaming availability. Check regions of interest. |
| Module costs | NB-IoT modules are typically slightly cheaper than LTE-M. | LTE-M modules are typically slightly more expensive than NB-IoT. |
| Power saving features | NB-IoT standards support PSM and eDRX, but availability depends on local networks. | LTE-M standards support PSM and eDRX but availability depends on local networks. |
| Mobility | There’s no handover when moving with NB-IoT, making it best suited to static devices. | LTE-M is suitable for static and mobile applications. |
| Remote provisioning | Typically no SMS support which is not good for eUICC (eSIM) remote provisioning freedom to leave (changing SIM operator). | Supports SMS. Freedom to leave and eUICC (eSIM) remote provisioning are possible. |
