Confidently deploy an NB-IoT network at scale with infrastructure-grade security, ultra low power consumption and global coverage. NB-IoT can be complex and very dependent on where you want to deploy your solution in terms of coverage. NB-IoT is highly complex. But with our fully managed NB-IoT solution, you can make it seamless, scalable, and future-proof.
NB-IoTEnd-to-End NB-IoT Solutions for Infrastructure
Our End-to-End Deployment Framework.
Not Just Another Connectivity Option.
NB-IoT is a highly specialised network that requires precise planning to deliver real results. Without the right design, your business could face network dead zones, high failure rates and devices that lose connection.
That’s why we provide a complete NB-IoT deployment framework. We cover requirements analysis, network design, project scoping, hardware selection, network build-out, integration and installation.
Whether you’re connecting thousands of smart meters, industrial sensors or smart city devices, we ensure your deployment is optimised for performance, power efficiency and long-term scalability.
Power-Efficient, Reliable, and Built for Scale
NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) is a low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) technology designed for large-scale IoT deployments that require deep, long-life coverage. Ideal for smart metering, industrial monitoring, and extensive sensor networks, NB-IoT eliminates the need for costly custom infrastructure while seamlessly integrating with your enterprise systems. Unlike traditional cellular technologies, NB-IoT operates on licensed spectrum bands, ensuring secure and reliable connectivity in underground, indoor, or remote locations.
The Smarter Way to Scale Long Life IoT
Our fully managed NB-IoT solutions eliminate complexity while delivering the power, coverage, and cost-efficiency you need—at scale. When you connect a device using our NB-IoT network, it doesn’t just talk to the nearest mast.It travels through a complete carrier grade mobile infrastructure. Just like your phone does. Every message is securely authenticated, routed and delivered with precision. From SIM handshake to the final data transfer.
Deep Coverage, Anywhere
Keep your devices connected—even in basements, tunnels, and remote areas—without expensive custom infrastructure. Built on existing cellular networks, NB-IoT penetrates further and performs where traditional connectivity fails.
Ultra-Low Power Consumption
Deploy once and stay connected for years. With power-efficient transmission, your devices can run on NB-IoT for over a decade on a single battery, reducing maintenance costs and maximising uptime.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Security isn’t optional. NB-IoT runs on cellular networks with enterprise-grade encryption, ensuring interference-free connectivity that meets the highest security standards.
Seamless Scalability & Cost Efficiency
Connect tens of thousands of devices per cell without network congestion or rising costs. Your per-unit expense is lower than any other connectivity option, making it the smart choice for large IoT rollouts.
Worldwide NB-IoT Coverage. What You Need to Know
NB-IoT coverage is not universal. Each country and carrier handles it differently, some support only inbound roaming, some offer full support and others are not enabled at all. We will help you navigate the global patchwork with verified coverage data, smart fallback options and a clear route to reliable deployment.
Global Reach with Licensed
Cellular Networks
NB-IoT runs on licensed LTE spectrums (typically 700-900 MHz), to delivering stronger signal penetration and reduced interference compared to unlicensed LPWAN technologies like LoRa. Built on 3GPP architecture, it operates seamlessly across multiple carriers, offering consistent global connectivity without the need for proprietary gateways.
Expanding Across Key Markets
Global NB-IoT adoption is accelerating, with commercial networks deployed in over 100 countries. Backed by leading mobile operators and national telecoms, its footprint continues to grow, supporting enterprises that require low-cost, energy-efficient IoT solutions at scale.
Coverage in Hard-to-Reach Locations
Optimised for deep indoor and underground penetration, maintaining power-efficient connectivity in the most challenging environments. Operating on narrowband 180 kHz carrier bandwidth, it minimises noise and extends reach—making it ideal for use where traditional cellular signals struggle.
Growth and Scalability
Support tens of thousands of IoT devices per cell—with no network congestion or performance degradation. Designed for massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC), it integrates directly into enterprise cloud platforms and supports IP-based protocols like MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP, enabling secure, low-latency data transmission at a huge scale.

Further Information
Everything You Need to Know About NB-IoT.
NB-IoT is designed for long-term reliability, deep coverage, and cost-efficient scalability—but how does it compare to other IoT technologies, and is it the right fit for your deployment?
- How does NB-IoT compare to LoRa, LTE-M, 4G, or 5G for IoT deployments?
NB-IoT is optimised for low-power, stationary IoT deployments that require deep coverage and long battery life. Other technologies in this category are LoRa and LTE-M. Starlink, LTE, and 5G are better suited for higher data rates, real-time mobility, and lower latency applications.
- Where is NB-IoT coverage available?
Choose NB-IoT for your deployments in over 100 countries. With strong adoption in Europe, Asia, and North America, it continues to expand as telecom operators integrate it into their 5G roadmaps. Your connectivity consultant will support you in choosing the best connectivity option for your locations and use case.
- Can NB-IoT handle high data transmission needs?
No, NB-IoT is built for small, infrequent data transmissions such as sensor readings, status updates, and alerts. If your application requires continuous, real-time data streaming, 5G or Starlink may be a better fit.
- What are the cost benefits of NB-IoT?
NB-IoT offers lower per-device connectivity costs than LTE-M and 4G, eliminating the need for private gateways while supporting tens of thousands of devices per cell, making it ideal for large-scale, low-power deployments.
- Do I have to purchase my NB-IoT hardware upfront?
Our hardware as a service model means you have zero upfront hardware expenses. Whether you require bespoke hardware or off-the-shelf options, you’ll pay a fixed monthly fee over a set time period. Learn more about hardware financing.
