It is reported that Vodafone has recently explained how to advance through the strengthening of existing 2G and 4G network technology, in advance to achieve some of the advantages predicted by 5G network IoT.
Vodafone outlines the potential for enhanced Internet of Things capabilities on the eve of 5G
In addition to dramatically increasing speed, improving coverage, and reducing latency, one of the key expected benefits of 5G technology is the ability to drive the emerging Internet of Things technology. However, we do not need to wait until 5G by 2020 to enjoy the benefits these IOTs offer.
Despite ongoing efforts to promote 5G in partnership with Huawei, Nokia, Ericsson, Intel and Qualcomm, Vodafone believes that NB-IoT's support of existing networks will bring similar benefits of 5G earlier than expected.
NB-IoT is a narrowband wireless technology recently decided by the 3GPP. It is specifically designed to address IoT needs by increasing indoor network coverage at low cost and supporting a large number of low-power devices. Perhaps its most important feature is the ability to deploy on the existing GSM and LTE spectrum.
Luke Ibbetson, director of R & D at Vodafone Group, said: "We expect to commercialize NB-IoT early in 2017 and support the coverage needed to connect devices." The path to upgrading the network to use NB-IoT is clear. Upgrades, 85% of 4G base stations in Europe will be able to support NB-IoT. "
At present, more than 20 large network operators all over the world have expressed their support for NB-IoT. It seems that the Internet of Things service to be provided by 5G technology will be realized ahead of schedule. (Text / Oscar translation)
