Analysis of NB-IoT Deployment, Obstacles and Opportunities for Indian Telecommunication Operators

Abstract

IoT constitutes the emerging market of smart devices, with the potential deployment of 3.5 billion devices until the year 2023. The coalescence of a large number of devices is imperative for a smart city, and existing techniques are relatively expensive for this purpose, which might be provided with neither data output and needing longer ranges to aid the requirements of IoT. Albeit cell innovations and Wi-Fi have demonstrated massive achievement in associating billions of clients to the Internet, they aren’t optimal to bridge objects with restricted throughput necessities, restricted processing power, and low power expenditure demands. From the wide assortment of utilization instances of IoT gadgets stem the need for new communication models and standards, ready to work productively with the low power, low execution gadgets on a large user base. We comprehensively review one of the most modern and fastest growing M2M radio technologies, NB-IoT. We pay particular attention to advantages and obstructions in the deployment of NB-IoT by Telecommunication Service Providers in developing countries like India, with a targeted focus towards Smart City applications. NB-IoT and LoRa are Low Power Wireless Area Network technologies enabling deployment of long-range and broad.
