Master cellular IoT for engineers building smart meters, asset trackers, agritech sensors, and connected industrial equipment. Compare NB-IoT, LTE-M, and RedCap deployment modes; understand 3GPP signaling for low-power devices; design coverage extension with repetitions and CE levels; analyze NTN-IoT for satellite connectivity over GEO/MEO/LEO constellations; and select the right technology for smart metering, asset tracking, agritech, and industrial monitoring use cases.
Why cellular IoT exists, tradeoffs between NB-IoT, LTE-M, RedCap and unlicensed alternatives, the 3GPP standards journey from Rel-13 to Rel-18, and how to map a use case to the right technology.
NB-IoT deployment modes, single-tone physical layer design, random access procedure, Control Plane CIoT EPS Optimization for ultra-small data, and coverage extension via repetition with CE levels 0/1/2.
LTE-M (Cat-M1, Cat-M2) architecture, mobility and voice over LTE-M, the new RedCap (NR-Light) UE category in 5G NR, RedCap bandwidth and antenna restrictions, and decision-making between NB-IoT, LTE-M, and RedCap.
Satellite IoT in 3GPP Rel-17 and Rel-18, Doppler and timing advance compensation for non-terrestrial links, the NTN-IoT ecosystem (Iridium, Skylo, AST SpaceMobile), and applied case studies in smart metering, asset tracking, agritech, and industrial monitoring.
