- ►What is CAT-1 bis?
-
CAT-1 bis (Category 1 bis) is a variation of LTE (Long-Term Evolution) specifically designed to support IoT (Internet of Things) and M2M (Machine-to-Machine) applications. It is an evolution of LTE CAT-1 but optimised for lower-cost, lower-power, and simpler devices.
Key Features of CAT-1 bis
-
Single-Antenna Support:
Unlike LTE CAT-1, which requires two antennas for MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), CAT-1 bis works with just one antenna, reducing hardware costs and complexity.
-
Lower Power Consumption:
It is designed for better power efficiency, making it suitable for battery-powered IoT applications.
-
Medium Data Rates:
It supports a downlink speed of 10 Mbps and an uplink speed of 5 Mbps, making it ideal for IoT applications that need more bandwidth than NB-IoT or LTE-M but don't require full LTE speeds.
-
Global Deployment:
CAT-1 bis can operate on existing LTE networks, making it widely available across different regions.
-
Ideal for IoT and M2M Use Cases:
It is well-suited for applications like GPS tracking, smart meters, fleet management, remote monitoring, and connected wearables.
