Narrow Band IoT (NB IoT) Solutions to Overcome the Traditional IoT Challenges
Internet of Things is a disruptive innovation that is increasingly finding its place in almost every walk of our lives. However, there are situations where unleashing the raw power of connected devices is difficult because of the underlying challenges. These challenges are associated with poor connectivity and connection bandwidth, short battery lives of the devices, and difficulty in battery replacement due to the physical placement of the devices in the hard-to-reach places, such as high-temperature systems, underground or underwater systems and other areas with difficulty in access.
NB IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things) addresses these challenges by improving the connection efficiency, penetration, power consumption and system capacity of the devices. In order to ensure a wide, secure and low-cost connectivity, it rides on the cellular networks and is able to utilize the standard LTE connectivity.
How We Can Help – Our NB-IoT Solution
Our teams have poured their rich experience in IoT, embedded systems, and telecom in order to build a solution that:
Delivers to the promise of the error-free operation in remote areas unattended for several years
Ensures the optimum power consumption of the devices. This enables devices to operate for up to 5 years on a single charging cycle
Leverages the security and access control capabilities of the telecom operators and from other IoT platforms
Interacts with a cloud server for data interchange, ensuring continuous availability of data for various analytical and reporting purposes
The PureSoftware provides a complete solution which covers IoT HW device, a specific sensor to meet the use case, Data management servers over M2M protocol, GUI, analytics, etc., PureSoftware can also provide integration support with IOT HW devices with third partner cloud-based M2M accelerator platform with supporting GUI/dashboard, etc., NB-IoT HW Devices from PureSoftware are currently being used by customers as either commercial quality devices (as long as the use case is confirmed), Proofs-of-Concept (POC) and Proof-of-Architecture(POA) purpose.

Solution Overview
PureSoftware NB-IoT device is based on Qualcomm NB-IoT modem chipset with a built-in ARM core-based application processor. Whereas this solution uses batteries for power and ensures minimal power consumption, it supports three technologies such as EGPRS(GSM), NB1 and CAT M (with support for a different band).
Note: This solution has been successfully tested on different bands of spectrum in India and other countries within the Asia Pacific (APAC) region
