About Low-Power 5G

In a nutshell, LTE-M (aka Cat M1) and NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) are cellular IoT network technologies developed as part of the 5G standard. They offer low bandwidth data connections at a low cost, and are appropriate for various IoT applications such as asset tracking for trucking and transportation, supply chain management, construction, equipmental rental and related markets.

Devices can be configured to report based on use case requirements and battery capacity considerations. They are equipped with a variety of sensors (temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, motion, impact, etc.) and are optimized to provide longer battery life — allowing devices to last several years.

BeWhere Low-Power 5G Asset Trackers

BeWhere Mobile IoT products draw very low power and therefore ensure a long battery life to track, monitor, and manage a wide variety of mobile and fixed assets in different environmental conditions. As they use Low Power Area Networks (LTE-M/NB-IoT), connectivity costs are also much lower than devices using 3G/4G/LTE networks.
