NB-IoT (NB1) and LTE_M (Cat-M1) are two recently added 3GPP standards optimized for IoT applications. These standards reduce the power consumption and the cost of the system to a fraction of other LTE categories (Cat-0 and above) enabling the cellular IoT market.
The 4th generation LTE transceiver IPs (SBR7035 and SBR7065) provides the optimum solution for IoT applications. SaberTek IPs offers the highest level of integration at lowest silicon area and power consumption.
