Hey everyone, 

 

LTE-M is an upgrade to LTE (long term evolution/4G) networks. It’s a new radio technology that will enable millions of IoT devices to connect and transfer small amounts of data between them.

Health

Wearable IoT devices like wristbands or heart monitors can improve people’s health and safety in the home or at work. For example, trackers can help parents monitor where children are or smart devices can let elderly people notify someone if they’ve had a fall.

 

Utilities

Sensors that monitor infrastructure to improve industry efficiencies, like gas and water meters (including smart meter tracking and pipeline monitoring), or micro generation (monitoring the status of wind, solar or thermal generation equipment with sensors).

 

Logistics

Mobile asset tracking, allowing IoT devices to run without mains power, or regular recharging. For example, tracking the location and status of industrial assets, such as materials, vehicles or containers.

 

Industry & Manufacturing

Using IoT devices can improve the safety and efficiency of industrial production,
like industrial tank process/safety (monitoring petrochemical and waste storage, hazardous fluid tanks, or high RF interference environments).

When will LTE-M be rolled out across UK, as it seems deployment has stopped and only 50% of the UK is complete?

Do you have an update on the rollout schedule?

 

The following page still states "We’ve already got half of the UK covered, with the rest of the national rollout planned to complete in 2021."

Thanks,

Dave.

I would speak to the Enterprise Team at VMo2 as they will have more information, as to when and where is next to be delivered @DaveUK 

 

I would also think with the chipset shortages, this may have delayed the roll out of LTE-M

- Xperia 1V - o2 and Spusu
- Pixel 8 Pro - o2 and Vodafone UK
