Spark expands IoT network choices with Cat-M1 launch
- Tuesday | 25th September, 2018
The launch of Cat-M1 IoT follows the launch of Spark’s LoRa IoT network in March. New Zealand incumbent telco Spark says it has switched on its second Internet of Things (IoT) network, which will run on its LTE network using LTE Cat-M1 technology. Spark says its LTE network covers 95% of the population. Switching on the M1 network will enable other IoT technologies like smart cities and connected cars from overseas to be adopted in New Zealand, says Stribling. “[M1 technology] allows us to get to market quickly and provide utilities with a robust coverage to ensure the success of smart metering rollout,” he said.
