LTE is fast being recognized as a platform of choice for IoT connectivity, for a range of applications from smart utility meters and connected homes, to wearable devices and smart cities. Now, as the mass rollout of IoT is taking place, it is necessary to take a step back for a macro view of current trends, to establish where the market currently stands and more importantly where it needs to go from here. Two important questions are at the fore: What is the expected timeframe for CAT-M1/CAT-NB1/NB-IoT deployment? How is it expected to shape the IoT space? Altair Semiconductor is a leading provider of LTE chipsets. Playing a key role in realizing the vision of IoT, Altair offers disruptive solutions that make LTE a great choice for connecting the next several billions of things. What viewers will learn: How and when the transition from CAT-1 to CAT M1/M2 is expected to play out. Who are the major players in the market and what they are doing to bring about this transition. Discussion of expected use cases and application scenarios. Who should watch: Network architects at Mobile and Fixed carriers OEMs and ODMs Carrier CIOs and CTOs   From The Expert Corner August 26, 2016 Shared Spectrum 2.X By Carl Ford Partner, Crossfire Media We have looked at 3.5 GHz Band several times over the years.
