Connectivity
ADVANTAGES Highest throughput DISADVANTAGES Spectrum utilization, power requirementsWifi Bluetooth beacons Low application throughput Bluetooth LPWA Cellular No power requirement Low cost Global coverage, application profile standards Higher reliability for mission critical applications CAT 1 and CAT 0 LTE for low cost, and ultimately NB-IoT high range data transfer Power requirements, coverage “black spots” Low data throughput Less reliability for mission critical and real-time applications Satellite Breadth of coverage even in areas with limited infrastructure e.g. at sea or in developing countries Price and interference due to weather conditions Near range Near range Wide range Global Ethernet IoT frameworks map higher-level protocols, stable service for SLAs, mobile backhaul, security Limited range, devices don’t work until they have a method of communication with the network Global Connectivity Option
LPWA Connectivity designed specifically for IoT
What is LPWA Low Power, Wide Area Networks Low data throughput = High sensitivity = Long range (Relatively) low cost Multiple Access = One-to-Many Architecture Using licensed or unlicensed spectrum
Unlicensed Spectrum EC- -m Licensed Spectrum LPWA: Technologies
Cellular-IoT Licensed Spectrum for IoT
Cellular IoT (CIoT) connectivity we NOW have Fast, efficient 
 Up to 10 Mbps for 4G LTE Ubiquitous coverage Reliable & secure Not designed for IoT in mind High power consumption Relatively expensive: modules, data plan Provisioning, manageability Advantages Considerations
Cellular IoT (CIoT) connectivity we WILL have EC-GSM-IoT LTE-M / eMTC NB-IoT Low data throughput Low power Low device & deployment cost Extended coverage Technologies Common Traits

NB-IoT a bit intro
What is NB-IoT 3GPP-standardised technology - Release 13 180 kHz RF frontend; Chipset cheaper than Cat M1, cheaper module Can be deployed in: existing LTE bands, in guard bands, re-farmed spectrum, or standalone Other details: Uplink: 250 kbit/s half-duplex (multi-tone), 20 kbit/s (single- tone) Downlink: 250 kbit/s Latency: 1.6s-10s Device Transmit Power: 23 dBm Coverage: 164 dB

NB-IoT in Indonesia
Disclaimer I’m bound to an NDA :P MANY THINGS I CAN tell you in person
1 telco is doing heavy trial 1 big area is covered 
 ~300ha, hidden in a plain sight that I know… NB-IoT: in Indonesia 1 use case is in heavy trial For now, more coverage will be provided on use case basis
nb-iot frequency bands 22 Terminal Integration & Validation, Deutsche Telekom AG The same frequency bands as in LTE are used for NB-IoT, with a subset defined in Release 13. Most frequencies are in the lower range of the existing LTE bands, reflecting that for MTC, poor coverage conditions is a concern. band number uplink frequency range (mhz) downlink frequency range (mhz) 1 1920 – 1980 2110 – 2170 2 1850 – 1910 1930 – 1990 3 1710 – 1785 1805 – 1880 5 824 – 849 869 – 894 8 880 – 915 925 – 960 12 699 – 716 729 – 746 13 777 – 787 746 – 756 17 704 – 716 734 – 746 18 815 – 830 860 – 875 19 830 – 845 875 – 890 20 832 – 862 791 – 821 26 814 – 849 859 – 894 28 703 – 748 758 – 803 66 1710 – 1780 2110 – 2200 NB-IoT: Frequency Bands Currently, Indonesia uses Band 8* There’s suggestion to use Band 3, as all Indonesia telcos already support 1800MHz —> to be explored *Not final. Official band is not agreed yet
Choose SARA-N200* *Not final. Official band is not agreed yet
NB-IoT: SIM Card Similar to other cellular connectivities, we need a SIM card to use NB-IoT Any SIM card will do, but need to be “whitelisted” in telco-side eSIM is still not supported yet in Indonesia. Not (really) technical reason.
