AT&T launching NB-IoT network across US and Mexico

AT&T has announced that it will be launching a narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) network across the United States early next year and in Mexico by the end of 2019. According to the carrier, the NB-IoT network will complement its current LTE-M network across those nations, both of which provide lower-cost connectivity than its cellular network for mass IoT deployments. "We've seen global momentum for LPWA [low-power wide-area] since launching our North American LTE-M network last year," AT&T president of IoT Solutions Chris Penrose said.
