Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) is a type of Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) radio technology that connects devices to the Internet of Things (IoT). Things that could never be connected before are now part of an LTE-based network with excellent coverage, running on a licensed spectrum. Vodacom NB-IoT offers deep coverage, low-cost hardware, and long battery life.
The key benefits of Narrowband IoT
Anywhere connectivity
Strong coverage over large areas, even underground or deep within urban infrastructure over a massive scale and a low bandwidth.
Long battery life
Great power efficiency and devices can run on batteries for 10 years or more without a recharge.
Cost effective
Significantly reduced device complexity, functionality, and capability, thus lowering costs.
Narrowband-IoT connects devices to the Internet of Things that could never be connected from an NB IoT network with deep coverage, low-cost hardware and long battery life

What is Machine-to-Machine?
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) is an end-to-end global data services platform for managing multiple SIM cards from a single interface.
The SIM cards we provide have the same functionality as normal plastic SIM cards, and they come in a semi-conductor form factor that’s soldered onto a circuit board.
You can link almost any type of remote machine or device to critical information systems and gather real-time field intelligence. For example: LiveTrack is an end-to-end vehicle management solution that allows companies to monitor the movements of all their vehicles in real time using central management software dashboards.
Multiple devices can share information at specified times over our network without the need for human intervention.
