LTE Cat 1bis Explained: The Future of IoT Connectivity
Explore how to overcome real-world challenges in global IoT device design — from coverage gaps to antenna constraints — and learn how to build reliable, energy-efficient products with Cat 1 bis.
Speakers

As IoT adoption accelerates, making the right connectivity choice is crucial for device design, efficiency, and scalability. While LTE-M and NB-IoT are well-established technologies for IoT projects, they do have geographical coverage limitations. LTE Cat 1bis can bridge these coverage gaps by providing broader connectivity thanks to its compatibility with existing 4G networks worldwide. It is emerging as a key enabler for IoT applications that demand reliable connectivity, mobility, and efficiency without the added complexity of dual-antenna designs.
Together with industry leaders Taoglas and Sequans, we delve into LTE Cat 1bis, its significance, and the challenges associated with single-antenna designs. Drawing from our extensive experience gained from thousands of IoT projects, we share insights on how you can successfully develop and deploy your IoT projects using Cat 1bis.
This webinar provides valuable insights into how LTE Cat1bis is shaping the future of IoT connectivity and practical guidance from industry leaders. Whether you’re a developer, product manager, or business decision-maker, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to make informed connectivity choices for your IoT applications.
