What to Consider While Designing for Low-Power LTE-M, NB-IoT, and LPWA Applications
When designing Low-Power Applications for Cellular IoT, CAT-M and NB-IoT Networks, everything from the semiconductor to the band it runs on, makes a difference.
Learn about LPWA networks and what to consider during development in order to maximize connectivity, extend battery life, and make IoT devices more easily accessible.
Key points:
- The webinar explains the advantages of standards-based LPWA, the two branches of LPWA technology and the four Cs of LPWA: Cost, coverage, current and capacity
- It gives a smart home analogy and a medical lab transport example
- LPWA power considerations are different from Smartphones. CAT-M1 and NB-1 low power techniques are explained
- Considerations for design include: low power, 2G fallback, multi-mode support, embedded SIMs, integrated GNSS, reference designs and scalable form factor
By using Altair ALT1250LTE chipset rather than Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity,
Wellvii can offer patients many benefits:
Wellvii specifically selected LTE to create an easy, hassle-free device for all patients —
including vulnerable patient populations who cannot reliably operate traditional Bluetooth-based medical devices.
