Global Connectivity made easy
Narrowband IoT Coverage
Connect large numbers of low-cost IoT devices – underground, indoors, across the countryside, and in remote areas leveraging EMnify’s NB-IoT coverage.
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) at a glance
Low cost, low power and excellent range
Excellent Range and Penetration
With a maximum theoretical link budget of 164 dB, NB-IoT brings the best range as well as indoor and underground coverage among all cellular technologies.
Low Power Consumption
Power Saving Mode (PSM) and Extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) features drastically reduce energy usage and enable longer battery life.
Low Cost
Less complex radio signal processing simplifies chipset design and reduces module costs to as low as 20% of the LTE module price.

Listen to what our customers have to say!
emnify allows us to operate our sensors easily and quickly anywhere in the world, thanks to their SIMs that support global multi-operator network connectivity. This lets our sensors hop onto the best given network. emnify also provides responsiveness, support and API that make their platform easily integrated into our internal tools."

Romain Scimia
"We needed a perfectly neutral SIM card to ensure reliable communications regardless of device location. emnify SIM cards were the perfect answer to our needs, and they could be managed easily from emnify's platform, with a one-stop overview of network activity and costs. We recommend emnify for its operator-neutrality that connects devices to the best available network."

Marc Dikötter
"Thanks to emnify, Urban.io can connect to cellular network providers from all around the world and maintain the best possible signal. emnify met all our requirements thanks to their flexibility. The platform provides us with control over connectivity and a high level of data security (via emnify Cloud Connect / Transit Gateway)."

Rob Cumming
"Primagaz uses emnify's SIM card to transfer data from the metering items on the field to our servers so that we are able to bill customers based on consumption. emnify's platform allows us to get all SIM cards together and manage them easily from one place. emnify's multi-operator service allows Primagaz to increase its network performance by always connecting our devices to the best operator."

François Vanoverschelde
"We develop solar solutions for rural communities, so they have GSM modules for status updates and remote control. emnify won us over with their excellent customer relationship: human and fast. It also helped their API had clear, concise documentation so we could integrate emnify's data and intelligence into our own internal platform, which enhances our users' experience."

Michel Fripiat
"We needed a service provider that could deliver in the Central African Republic. Many providers do not take this area into account but emnify did. The availability of their service is impressive. And I can always count on their professionalism and fair pricing."

Global Roaming
As of today, NB-IoT roaming is relatively limited, and few network providers have offered multi-network NB-IoT access for global IoT deployments. One reason is that operators are currently transitioning from a pure volume-based intercarrier billing model to one that also incorporates base pricing per device.
PSM and eDRX Availability
PSM and eDRX are two important features to deliver the best power-saving capability in cellular LPWAN. Therefore, it's recommended to ensure they are supported with NB-IoT network services when the low-power requirement prevails.
Technology Availability
NB-IoT standardization was completed in 2016, and yet technology roll-out has been slow. So far, less than one-third of all countries have had NB-IoT deployed.

NB-IoT hardware recommendations
Specifications:
As NB-IoT has not been deployed on a global scale yet, we recommend using cellular LPWAN modules that support not only NB-IoT but come with a fallback to common RAT types. Contact one of our experts to help you with your module selection.
