Since 2019, Utility Connect, a member of 450 MHz Alliance, has been running a dedicated proof of concept LTE-M network in the 450 MHz-band. The results of this proof of concept with 450 LTE-M are very promising. A dedicated 450 LTE-M network offers opportunities to provide customers with more control over their vital communication. 450 LTE-M offers excellent indoor coverage (even in basements), limited energy consumption which allows for battery-operated sensors and good data throughput.
Since 2019 Utility Connect has been running a dedicated proof of concept LTE-M network in the 450 MHz band. The results of this proof of concept are very promising. Next to data communication, LTE-M also supports voice communication. Currently, the availability of handsets for voice communication over 450 LTE-M seems to be limited. If you are a handset manufacturer or know one with 450 LTE-M voice handsets and wishing to test their handsets on a real 450 LTE-M network, please contact us at info@utilityconnect.nl.
