2023年1月9日 · CAT-1 BIS – WESTERN POWER. The LTE Cat-1 bis chipset market is largely dominated by Chinese players. Until now, there have been few other options available to international module and device manufacturers. Sequans Communications is the only non-Chinese company that offers a LTE Cat-1 bis chipset.

2024年5月7日 · “Similar to [LTE-M and NB-IoT] modules, Cat 1bis modules and devices have a single antenna and a single receive RF chain, in contrast to the two antennae needed for Cat 1 devices. LTE-M and NB-IoT offer a small cost advantage: the RF front end needs no surface acoustic wave filter due to the half-duplex nature of communication.

2024年1月18日 · Omdia said 5G-based non-RedCap ‘massive IoT’ and LTE-based Cat-1 bis modules will also drive overall volumes. The ‘massive IoT’ category is a curious one, it might be suggested, and Omdia’s classification of a 5G-based ‘massive IoT’ portfolio is not entirely clear.

2022年10月6日 · As such, LTE-M is the right technology choice. Admittedly, LTE-M doesn’t have the same throughput as CAT-1 offers. With a 5Mbps upload and 10Mbps download, CAT-1 can move data faster than LTE-M’s 1.2Mbps upload and download speed (3GPP Release 17). However, connected utilities typically don’t need the higher throughput provided by CAT-1.

2024年10月2日 · Omdia has a new report about the “growing influence of 5G technology on IoT”, which says the “gradual phase-out” of LTE (4G) over the next decade will see a migration of IoT applications onto 5G networks, with LTE-based Cat-1 to Cat-4 IoT giving way to RedCap and eRedCap in particular. “Companies across various sectors are beginning ...

2024年10月17日 · As a natural replacement for LTE Cat-4 and Cat-6, 5G RedCap targets mid-range IoT devices that do not necessitate the full power of 5G; eRedCap, arriving in the market in 2026, is pitched more squarely for IoT applications that currently use LTE Cat-1 and Cat-1bis.

2024年9月5日 · In a statement, the firm referenced an enhanced RedCap (eRedCap) chip that Sequans said it intends to develop as an indicator that the RedCap silicon market will become a “hyper-competitive space” as the market heats up. eRedCap, said ABI Research, will further reduce device complexity and unlock the market for IoT devices OEMs that use, or intend to …

2024年6月24日 · It suggested the market overall will reassert its buoyancy next year (2025), as LTE-based Cat 1 bis continues to reduce in price and gain share from NB-IoT and Cat 1 technologies, and, notably, as reduced capability 5G (RedCap) IoT modules enter the market in more serious volume – and as China subsidises their takeup. 4G Cat 1 bis captured ...

2023年6月12日 · It suggests “nearly 90 percent of the installed [cellular IoT] base” was on one or the other of these technologies at the end of 2022. But NB-IoT sales, mostly in China, have slowed. A statement explained: “In recent times, 4G Cat 1 bis technology has gained significant popularity over NB-IoT due to its superior performance.

2022年4月1日 · eMTC and NB-IoT were both introduced simultaneously in Release 13 . eMTC (enhanced machine-type communication) is a type of LTE-M network published by 3GPP in the Release 13 specification. eMTC is a low power wide area technology which supports IoT through lower device complexity and provides extended coverage. eMTC is a sub-type of LTE-M …
