CatMbased
CatMbased describes devices, modules and solutions built on LTE Category M technology (commonly called Cat-M, LTE‑M or eMTC) for cellular Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It denotes systems that use the reduced-bandwidth, low-complexity features of Cat‑M to provide wide-area connectivity with lower power consumption and cost than traditional LTE devices.
CatMbased devices leverage 3GPP-standardized capabilities such as power-saving modes (e.g., PSM and extended DRX), improved link
Common applications include asset tracking, smart metering, wearables, environmental sensors and industrial monitoring where nationwide or
CatMbased solutions are offered by chipset vendors, module manufacturers and mobile network operators worldwide. Adoption depends
