• NB-IoT and eMTC baseline 5G mMTC

• NB-IoT can connect up to 1 million devices per square kilometer

• NB-IoT, now officially a member of the 5G family, will have a life cycle just like other 5G technologies and serve 5G massive IoT access in the coming decades

• For mobile network operators (MNO), investments in NB-IoT networks constitute a proportion of investment in 5G for future long-term operations, which protect the ROI

• long-term roadmaps can be planned for products, systems, and solutions

• As 2G phases out, M2M and IoT users face risks of discontinuation. NB-IoT networks, guarantee operation life cycle of over 10 years, ensuring long-term connectivity of IoT terminals.

• From Release 16, NB-IoT can coexist with 5G NR, and NB-IoT new terminals can access the 5G core network.

• NB-IoT further improves the energy and spectral efficiencies and enhances interoperability.
