IoT: connectivity to meet varied requirements

So what new type of connectivity is needed for IoT?
The greatest growth potential is to provide low cost, low-power
and low bandwidth connectivity

The Ultra Narrowband Opportunity
Targeting millions of simple objects which were previously not
economic to connect
Optimised for short, infrequent messages:
• GPS location
• Physical measurements – temperature, water level, air quality,
blood pressure, energy use
• Status codes – intrusion, faults, container full, parking spaces
• User entered – observations, voting, signed in/out
Previous solutions are not well suited to this kind of use
