LTE Gets a Makeover for IoT Business
I believe that LTE has grown alot especially with new technology software and platforms. With all the new futuristic technology they can be successful for businesses. I think with the service providers has to prove that with the newest technology to us. The challenge now is to choose 5G vs LTE.

Re: Shouldn't clients in the basement imply antennas on the roof?
As we see the proliferation of such devices, we would need to really add the necessary throughput--whether that in fact is going to happen or not is still an open question--which is what I think @JohnBarnes is underscoring in his thoughts.

Re: Shouldn't clients in the basement imply antennas on the roof?
Dcawrey, Low power relative to intended reach. Your cell phone is expected to get signal out of bad spots and has several times the signal strength of that processor in the vending machine, which is expected to just find a way. Rather than add to the volume of electronic chatter I'm suggesting an infrastructure to make more locations practical at that lower power.

@JohnBarnes Aren't all IoT devices supposed to be low-power?

I'm all for the most efficient devices available - I think it will be interesting to see what connectivity standard ends up emerging here. There's no clear winner right now.

Shouldn't clients in the basement imply antennas on the roof?
If you're looking at low-power low-bandwidth requirements like vending machines and utility meters, rather than having them reach out to internet stations from their distant corners and basements, why not begin to move to a buildingwide relayed, semiwired network? I.e. a router/modem in the basement, wired to router-modems on every floor, wired to a simple antenna/repeater in the attic. Side benefit: if the wired network is powered, and wired all the way to the client, you could also use it to trickle-charge batteries.

Re: LTE makeover for the better
This makese a lot of sense. It's no wonder IoT devices have been using 2G and 3G. I would even argue given the diminishing returns of those networks, they were primed for IoT.

However, that's all going to change with LTE and 5G. With 5G leading the way on superfast data, LTE will be useful for IoT in the near future.

Real Smart Technology
<Some utility meters, such as gas and water, also don't have electrical power nearby, so the IoT module has to run on batteries. The new LTE technologies are designed to sleep for days or weeks, instead of waking up every few seconds>

This is true smart technology that is saving money and making everyone's lives easier.

LTE makeover for the better
The LTE doing new things for themselves is great because there needs to be something different and better to offer for customers.
