NB-IoT, LTE and 5G for Smart city and Digitalization

✓NB-IoT tối ưu cho các ứng dụng IoT (Use Cases) với các điều kiện:

o Thời gian sử dụng pin lâu (~10 năm).

o Chỉ yêu cầu tốc độ thấp và tần suất truyền ít (tổng lưu lượng ~kB/ngày).

o Chi phí thấp (~2-10$/module RF).

o Hỗ trợ số lượng kết nối cao (~ trăm nghìn Devices/cell).

o Vùng phủ rộng, sâu (link budget tăng +15 dB so với LTE cùng band).

✓Cụ thể các IoT Use cases đặc biệt phù hợp sử dụng NB-IoT:

o Smart Cities (Smart Parking, Street Lighting, Smart Waste,…).

o Smart Home (theo dõi trạng thái báo cháy, báo khói,…).

o Smart Metering (đo xa điện, nước, gas,…).

o Tracking (định vị xe cộ, hàng hóa, vật nuôi, người dùng,…).

o Monitoring (giám sát môi trường và nông nghiệp,…).
