Connectivity Standards We Deploy
What Is NB-IoT?
NB-IoT is a Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) standard developed by 3GPP (the group behind 4G/4.5G/5G). It connects devices like sensors, meters, and trackers using a narrow 180 kHz bandwidth over existing telecom networks.
NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) is a low-power, low-cost wireless technology ideal for connecting sensors and devices in medical, industrial, and smart city environments. It uses existing cellular infrastructure and offers deep indoor coverage, long battery life, and minimal data usage — perfect for Hong Kong’s distributed facilities and cold chain monitoring.
What Is LoRa?
LoRa is a physical layer wireless technology that uses Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation to transmit small data packets over long distances with minimal power. It’s part of the LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) family, designed for IoT devices that send infrequent, low-bandwidth data.
LoRa (Long Range) is a low-power, long-range wireless technology ideal for connecting sensors in medical, industrial, and smart city environments. In Hong Kong, it’s widely used for cold chain monitoring, leak detection, and facility alerts — especially where cellular coverage is weak or SIM costs are a concern.
What Is BLE?
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless communication protocol introduced in Bluetooth 4.0. Unlike classic Bluetooth, which is designed for continuous high-bandwidth connections (e.g., audio streaming), BLE is tailored for intermittent, low-data transmissions with minimal power usage.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a short-range wireless technology optimized for ultra-low power consumption, making it ideal for medical sensors, wearables, and facility monitoring in Hong Kong. It supports months to years of battery life and is widely used in smart healthcare, and asset tracking.
