WHAT DOES LTE OFFER?
The M2M and IoT markets face substantial disruption as new
network technologies come to market that offer widely
different speeds and capacities. 2G cellular connections are
starting to disappear in some markets as 2G networks are
retired to free up spectrum for 4G – LTE – capacity. The sunsetting of 2G networks will necessitate substantial module or
device upgrade programs in markets where LTE is being
adopted the fastest.
