5 2 NB-IoT NB-IoT is one of the M2M/IoT technologies providing full LPWA (Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) network capabilities
More Battery Life, More Coverage, Lower Speed & Lower cost modules
Requirement High Performance LPWA: LPWA: Basic M2M Category M2M Relaxed Full Capability GSM 2G EC-GSM Evolution 3G ó Technology LTE Cat 4 Solutions LTE Cat1 CAT-M1 (LTE-M) LTE Evolution Existing M2M technology NB-IoT Licensed 3GPP M2M Technology in Rel. 13 Unlicensed Alternative Technology SigFox LORA/Semtech Unlicensed + many others
2G will stay in service longer (at least 2025) – EC-GSM not favoured as requires very long term maintenance of 2G Different M2M/IoT technologies including NB-IoT fulfill different requirements in terms of data rates, cost, battery life and coverage

SW upgrade SW upgrade Massive IoT and critical IoT have different requirements – NB-IoT (and CAT-M) enable massive IoT applications
ó Today’s M2M technologies only partially address some key verticals limiting new IoT business opportunities
Gas metering Environmental Monitoring Large homogenous market measured in millions Latent market waiting for a low power solution Battery life and propogation is critical Battery life and network coverage is critical Large number of potential meter manufacturers Fragmented channel to market in low volumes
Water metering Smoke and fire alarms Massive market measured in hundreds of millions Large homogenous market measured in millions ó Battery life and ability to test device is critical Battery life and propagation is critical High volume B2C play Large number of potential meter manufacturers
Liquid and pressurised fuels Parking monitoring Large homogenous market measured in millions Market measured in hundreds of thousands Asset is currently un-monitored & losses are high Battery life and low install cost are critical Battery life is critical Low data throughput
Smart Bins Alarms and event detectors Growing market with good business case Market measured in hundreds of thousands Battery life and network coverage is critical Battery life is ultra critical Complements our high end connected bins Very low data throughput on check and trigger Vodafone NB-IoT: A Global Network Other network providers – NB-IoT launched Other network providers – NB-IoT on the roadmap
