VODAFONE, Huawei and u-blox have successfully trialled a more efficient, mobile Internet of Things connectivity technology in Spain. The commercial trial of pre-standard NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) technology promises to extend the Internet of Things (IoT) by making it more efficient to connect objects to the internet which are in areas hard to reach by mobile connectivity or that require a long battery life. NB-IoT promises to achieve up to 10 years’ battery life and deep indoor penetration.
