Environment
LTE-M
NB-IoT
Question
I cannot connect to NB-IoT networks in some areas where I can connect to LTE-M and vice versa. What is the cause of this?
Answer
Check if the Network Operator supports NB-IoT and/or LTE-M connections via the Coverage Map.
The Coverage Map lists LTE-M / NB-IoT status on each network. The status can be:
Live - fully supported by the operator and guaranteed by Onomondo;
Validated - available, but not supported by the operator and cannot be guaranteed;
Not available - not supported and/or accessible with Onomondo SIMs.
Cause
Some Network Operators do not support NB-IoT and/or LTE-M technologies yet.
In addition, our commercial agreements with network operators do not always explicitly cover NB-IoT and/or LTE-M access.
