LTE Cat 1bis is the LTE-variant developed for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. It was introduced in 3GPP Release 13 in 2016. LTE Cat 1bis delivers the same throughput as LTE Cat 1 with a single antenna, reducing costs for OEMs and IoT solution providers.
LTE Cat 1bis technology offers a more compact and simple design when compared to LTE Cat 1. It provides a balanced solution for wireless communication that prioritizes both power efficiency and reliable data transmission. The major LTE Cat 1bis applications include smart asset tracking, logistics and supply chain management, and smart sensoring. Smart metering, smart cities, and other micro-mobility applications use LTE Cat 1.bis modules.
