Role of Sub-1GHz Communications in M2M/IoT Developments, Technologies, Markets, and Applications, Industry is Actively Investigating Opportunities

DUBLIN, Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Role of Sub-1GHz Communications in M2M/IoT Development: Technologies, Markets, and Applications" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report addresses properties of communication technologies that support M2M/IoT development.

In particular, it is concentrated on the analysis and benefits of Sub-1GHz ISM bands wireless communications as they relate to the IoT/M2M development. The report shows that the industry is actively investigating opportunities of this portion of the spectrum to enhance IoT/M2M characteristics.

The following Sub-1GHz technologies, related markets, standards and applications have been addressed to show their value in the IoT/M2M development:

Short range communications

• ZigBee/802.15.4
• Z-Wave
• EnOcean

Long range communications

• IEEE 802.15.4g
• IEEE 802.11af
• IEEE 802.11ah
• IEEE 802.22
• Weightless
• UNB (Ultra-narrow Band)

The major attractions of these Sub-1GHz technologies for IoT/M2M communications include:

• Extended range - they allow 5-10 times longer reaches over 2.4 GHz band transmissions. This is the result of smaller losses when signal is traveling through various obstacles; besides, Sub-1GHz ISM bands are less crowded
• Low power consumption
• Support of multiple applications.

The industry and consumers show great interest in the utilization of Sub-1GHz ISM bands for IoT/M2M communications; there are great opportunities that have not been realized until recently.

The report also surveys related industries and patents.

The report is written for a wide audience of technical and managerial staff involved in the development of the IoT/M2M market.
