This NB-IoT PHY. is a 3GPP Release 14 compliant Category 4 NB UE solution. The Nb-IoT UE PHY. IP supports massive machine-type communication (mMTC) and enable low-power, low-cost, low latency, high throughput, and low-data-rate communication. The platform is available on COTS Hardware platform for evaluation.
The PHY IP is platform independent with the choice of the DSP processor cores. The PHY IP has been integrated for the sensor-based applications and has been integrated and test performed with NB-Iot specific radio chips. With a roadmap of Release-15 and Cat M1 upgradable the PHY IP is targeted for the wide range of IoT application along with 5G NR Non-Terrestrial Network specification to enter into the niche market areas like Satellite and Balloon type deployment
