Executive Summary

The LPWA market has existed for about 10 years; it’s not a new thing. The current technologies

(solutions) supporting this market are fragmented and non-standardized, therefore there are

shortcomings like poor reliability, poor security, high operational and maintenance costs.

Furthermore, the new overlay network deployment is complex.

NB-IOT overcomes the above defects, with all the advantages like wide area ubiquitous coverage, fast

upgrade of existing network, low-power consumption guaranteeing 10 year battery life, high coupling,

low cost terminal, plug and play, high reliability and high carrier-class network security, unified

business platform management. Initial network investment may be quite substantial and superimposed

costs are very little. NB-IOT perfectly matches LPWA market requirements, enabling operators to

enter this new field.

NB-IOT enables operators to operate traditional businesses such as Smart Metering, Tracking, by

virtue of ultra-low-cost ($ 5 ) modules and super connectivity (50K / Cell), also opens up more

industry opportunities, for example, Smart City, eHealth.

NB-IOT makes it possible for more things to be connected, but also managing the commercial value

of the resulting Big Data is a big task, operators can carry out cooperation with related industries, in

addition to selling connections, they can also sell data.

1. Emerging Market for Low Power Services and Applications

1.1 IoT development & Growing Demand for LPWA

The Internet of Things – IoT – has moved from fiction to reality. By 2020, there will be over 14

billion network-enabled devices, according to the International Energy Agency. This compares to

approximately 3.2 billion people using the internet. IoT dramatically widens the internet’s scope from

people-operated computers towards autonomous smart devices. Often, these devices are connected to

the internet for remote diagnostics & control, leading to cost savings. In addition, innovative IoT

hardware & services can generate new revenues – for example, connected glasses used for industrial

applications, more efficient logistics serving new market segments, or industrial appliances sold in a

per-usage business model. In many cases, business users & private users can control their IoT

application through existing smartphones and tablets, through mobile applications that interact with web

servers which the connected objects connect to.

Many mobile operators have set up dedicated IoT/M2M business units in order to serve the growing

number of companies looking to embrace the business benefits that mobile IoT brings. Larger operators

have even made acquisitions so that they can serve a wider part of the value chain and capture revenues

beyond pure connectivity. As the market grows, it is becoming obvious that there are many mobile IoT

use cases for which existing cellular networks are not suitable.

The reasons are simple: Coverage, battery life and device cost. First, coverage: Existing cellular

networks already offer very good area coverage in mature markets. However, many potential

“connected objects” are located in vast remote areas, far away from the next cellular base station. If

there is coverage, it is often weak which requires the device transmitter to operate at high power,

draining the battery. In addition, cellular networks are not optimized for applications that occasionally

transmit small amounts of data. A battery life of several years combined with an inexpensive device

cannot be realized on existing cellular standards, as they do not support the required power saving

mechanisms.

The third aspect is device cost: Mobile devices working on GSM, 3G and LTE are designed for a

variety of services, including mobile voice, messaging and high-speed data transmission. However, NB-

IoT applications do not utilize any of this; they just require low-speed but reliable data transfer, and an

appropriate level of reliability. Therefore, using cellular devices for NB-IoT applications means using

devices that are too expensive for the application. Many of the NB-IoT use cases require a low device

price, not just in order to have a positive business case for the service operation, but also due to practical

aspects such as ease of installation or risk of theft.

In summary, there are strong market trends pointing at growing demand for NB-IoT applications,

while the networks that can efficiently serve such applications are not in place yet. This whitepaper

examines trends in the market for NB-IoT applications and discusses technology options that operators

can choose from in order to enter this new business.

1.2 NB-IoT Use Cases & Market Potential

The strong growth in the NB-IoT market has motivated many analyst firms to create forecasts

showing the expected numbers of connections as well as the revenue potential. Generally, the global

IoT market is expected to be worth trillions of dollars by 2020. The NB-IoT market is a subset of this,

and it is important for operators to understand the revenue potential in the countries they operate in.

Before looking into specific countries, we need to identify the industries or verticals where NB-

IoT can add value. Figure 1 below shows nine industries where we see major market potential for NB-

IoT services:

Figure 1: Target Industries for NB-IoT Services

Huawei’s business case analytics is designed to evaluate the NB-IoT business for specific

industries, countries or regions. Based on our deep country-specific research which includes social

and demographic data evaluation, we have modeled how the adoption rates for different NB-IoT

applications will develop during the next five years.

Our forecasts are based on use cases; distinct NB-IoT applications that will often be deployed in

more than one industry. The model currently includes over fifty use cases, covering many service

categories such as:

 Smart metering (electricity, gas and water)

 Facility management services

 Intruder alarms & fire alarms for homes & commercial properties

 Connected personal appliances measuring health parameters

 Tracking of persons, animals or objects
