Power efficiency in the field: LTE-M vs 2G
Can LTE-M improve IoT device efficiency over 2G? We put them to the test.
Our analysis with the Qoitech Otii Arc power analyser shows LTE-M consumes up to 40% less energy than 2G, potentially extending battery life from months to years.
But Is now the time to invest in 4G’s enhanced security and power efficiency? Or are the transition costs and complexities holding you back?
Download our LTE-M vs 2G power consumption benchmark report to calculate your energy savings and make informed decisions for your IoT future.
What’s included:
- How does LTE-M compare to 2G in terms of power efficiency?
- What are the power-intensive operations in both technologies?
- How can these insights guide the selection of cellular technologies for IoT applications?
