As carriers continue to build out the networks to the furthest and remotest areas, there are fewer dead zones to limit the deployments. Range is also expanding with the LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies, which support lower data rates and require much less power to transmit data across longer distances. With Digi XBee Cellular embedded modems, the customer can easily develop and quickly deploy smarter, connected devices that are carrier-certified out of the box.
