FAQ
What is Cat M1 (LTE-M)?
Cat M1 sometimes known as LTE-M (LTE for Machines) is enhanced low-power, wide-area (LPWA) technology supporting higher bandwidth, devices in motion, over-the-air updates, and voice functionality. The use cases like wearables, facilities & consumable monitoring, and fleet & asset tracking.
