All-in-One NB-IoT Sensor Node Connects Field Data Directly to Cloud
Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT),a More Stable Choice for Remote Wireless Transmission
NB-IoT is a new wireless communication technology with low power consumption in wide area networks. It is an international standard defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NB-IoT feature low power consumption and remote transmission and can be constructed directly on LTE networks based on licensed spectrum bands.


Deeper and Wider
Network Coverage
The coverage of NB-IoT is theoretically 20 dB stronger than traditional GPRS and LTE, offering stable reception quality even with buried lines or when underground.

Secure Encrypted
Transmission
Follows the security approaches of 4G LTE, ensuring that data is transmitted safely during communication.

Savings Telecom
Communication Fee
Payment plans average lower than US$1 per month, plus savings on basic facility maintenance fees and administrative costs for private networks. Failure risks are also reduced.

Stable and Reliable
Licensed Bands
Compared to communication protocols operating on increasingly crowded unlicensed ISM bands, NB-IoT has a comprehensive band plan and is subject to less interference.

Unrestricted
Roaming
Furnished with full band modules and antennas and expected to be available for data roaming between different regions in the future.

Lower Power
Consumption
The operational life of nodes is extended by low frequency, low power consumption, and low chip complexity designs.
Building up Device-to-Cloud Service
with NB-IoT Ecosystem
Advantech has created a plug-and-play NB-IoT device-to-cloud solution in cooperation with telecom operators and wireless module suppliers. Using WISE-4471/WISE-4671 series wireless sensor nodes to integrated with WISE-PaaS industrial IoT platform and mainstream public cloud services. The solution assists smart city solution with obtaining field site information on widely dispersed facilities through NB-IoT by displaying, storing, and analyzing data on cloud platforms.
