11.2.3 - IoT Networks

A set of flashcards covering key vocabulary and concepts related to Internet of Things (IoT) networks.

Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT)

A low-power version of the LTE or 4G cellular standard, characterized by lower bandwidth and suitable for small data packets.

Data Rates of NB-IoT

Limited to 20–100 kbps, optimized for sending small packets with low latency.

Penetrating Power

The ability of NB-IoT to work in inaccessible locations where ordinary cellular connectivity fails.

LTE-M

A low-power communication system supporting higher bandwidth up to approximately 1 Mbps.

Unique Serial Number or Code

A form of identification embedded in each IoT device's operating or control system.

Operational Technology (OT) Network

A cabled network for industrial systems, differentiated from ordinary IT networks, often using serial data protocols or industrial Ethernet.

Industrial Ethernet

A networking technology optimized for real-time, deterministic data transfers in industrial systems.

Baseband Radio

A technology that enables long-distance communication for IoT over systems that support mobile phones.

Baseband Processor

The component that functions as a cellular modem within cellular networks.

IoT Networking Standards

Developed products and standards specifically to facilitate IoT networks, distinct from standard Ethernet, cellular, and Wi-Fi.
