In addition to 2G\/3G\/4G, the 4G Omni can also be used for \"NB\"<\/strong> are above the field strength (signal strength). What does this mean?<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

NB stands for NB-IoT and means \"N<\/strong>arrow B<\/strong>and Internet of Things\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NB-IoT is used in the areas of smart metering, asset tracking, environmental monitoring, smart cities and industrial IoT, where low power consumption and reliable connectivity are crucial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is \u201eNB\u201c now displayed? The reason is that the device in question has logged into a mobile network that is not available for the Long battery life<\/strong> and the Transmission of small data packets<\/strong> is optimized - and not<\/strong> for surfing the internet or streaming videos. For these IoT tasks, 4G would be far too energy-intensive, expensive and oversized. NB-IoT is the lean, efficient and cost-effective special solution for machine communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Stromer, it is a fallback variant. It was developed with the FW-SUI 4.4.3.3<\/a> (20-11-2023) was introduced, is probably used when there is no or very poor mobile phone connection and presumably also serves to protect against theft. However, I am not aware of any further details. The release notes only say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various optimizations:

Support for NB-IoT fallback has been added, Comm module FW 4.6.9.4 required.
