| LTE Cat 1 bis features a single antenna design optimised for low-power applications and is designed to offer balanced high-speed capabilities – up to 10Mbps downlink and 5Mbps uplink – with low power consumption. It supports power management features such as extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) and power-saving mode (PSM) to reduce power usage by allowing devices to sleep when not transmitting or receiving data. This, said the report, makes it suitable for IoT applications requiring long-term operation without frequent battery replacements, such as smart metering, payment solutions, fleet management and healthcare devices.The single antenna design is also said to reduce hardware complexity and costs, compared with the original LTE Cat 1, making it an attractive option for manufacturers and solution providers. A further advantage is said to be derived from LTE Cat 1 bis operating on existing LTE networks globally, offering extensive coverage. IoT Analytics believes that as 2G and 3G networks are decommissioned, it provides a seamless migration.5G IoT also offers enhanced performance and capabilities with latency as low as 1ms and high data rates up to 20Gbps, essential for applications requiring immediate responsiveness and high throughput. Given 5G’s ability to support up to a million devices per square kilometre, the analyst said the standard can accommodate the escalating number of IoT devices.The automotive sector has been a, if not the, leading sector for IoT in 2024. IoT Analytics calculated that the sector – including transportation, supply chain and logistics – accounted for 26% of global 5G IoT connections during the period, propelled by connected vehicles. The industry is integrating 5G IoT to enhance real-time navigation, telematics and infotainment. Additionally, 5G supports future technologies like Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), enabling communication between vehicles, infrastructure and other road users.Looking ahead, the report suggests 2025 will mark the first commercialisation of 5G RedCap connections. This technology is designed to bridge the gap between full-scale 5G and existing LTE categories, like LTE Cat-4, enhancing device efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This, IoT Analytics predicts, will facilitate a smoother transition to next-generation connectivity and support a wide range of IoT applications, including mid-speed use cases such as wearables and smart cameras. -- ???????? | |||
