LTE-M (LTE-MTC or LTE Cat-M1) is another type of Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) network technology designed for IoT devices. Compared to traditional LTE networks, LTE-M offers lower bandwidth but provides better coverage and longer battery life for devices with low data rate requirements. Furthermore, compared to other LPWA technologies, it provides a higher data rate and lower latency for voice, mobility and handover support. LTE-M can operate in both licensed and unlicensed spectrum, making it a flexible and versatile technology for IoT applications. It is suitable for a wide range of use cases, including smart grid and energy management, industrial IoT, security, mobile asset tracking, and more.
