The most secure and reliable network
5G IoT is more than just a new generation of wireless communications technology.
A network designed for IoT devices
5G IoT is part of mobile networks with fully managed, standardized systems guaranteeing the integrity of all data running through it.
Fully standardized
5G IoT devices can be standalone and do not require any supporting equipment or infrastructure. Everything is in the cloud.
No onsite equipment
Billions of IoT devices from smart lights, to smart meters and smart locks can connect to the internet on global NB-IoT networks
Massive scalability
5G IoT has passed security protocols by 3GPP/GMSA the organisations responsible for managing mobile networks globally.
Advanced security
Signals extend 20% beyond normal mobile phone coverage, and it also extends underground and deep within buildings
Stronger coverage
Dedicated spectrum bands have been set for 5G IoT networks to avoid interferences and for low latency, which means better reliability
Dedicated spectrum
Devices can run on batteries for up to 5 years as they can remain in a deep sleep mode and woken up only when required
Power efficiency
Whilst Wi-Fi has been designed mostly for steaming video and sharing large files, 5G IoT is designed for low data transfers.
Designed for low data
Utilises mobile network security/ features built-in from the ground up, not just bolted on, so we can operate a high-security IoT service, ensuring full confidentiality and privacy.
Designed for devices
Our smartlocks with iSIM cards work out of the box on 5G IoT networks in 35 countries
The time to connect your devices is now
142 MNO's
Mobile Network Operators (MNO) have been rolling out 5G IoT networks on top of their existing mobile networks all over the world
85 countries
Countries have had nationwide 5G IoT network rollouts in the last two years, check if your country is covered here.
100M+ connected
Devices such as smart meters (electricity, gas water) smart lighting, smart trackers, and so on have been rolling out globally
20% beyond
Reaching 20% beyond mobile network coverage. 5G IoT coverage extends deep underground and high in skyscapers.

Addressing a global market
Get insights from GSMA about how the mobile industry is now establishing 5G IoT technologies (NB-IoT, LTE-M) as the global coverage solution often referred to as the Global Mobile-IoT Network or GMN
5G IoT CONNECTIVITY
Connecting billions of things
Today, about 6.5 billion ‘things’ are connected to the internet. Yet, we are still only connecting less than 1% of what could be connected. 5G IoT is rapidly changing this.

Mobile Network Operator trust and security
Unlike some forms of connectivity, 5G IoT networks (NB-IoT, LTE-M) are carefully managed and secured by mobile network operators. As such, the growing usage of 5G IoT helps counter security threats.
