du, an affiliate of Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company, in cooperation with Nokia, EverMed Networks and Media Tech, today announced The launch of the new generation NB-IoT Internet in the UAE in line with Standards No. 14, the latest release of the 3GPP project.

The new narrow-range Internet of Things will benefit from the internet of things platform developed by Du, with the aim of enabling devices to Providing a wide range of smart city applications and services, such as smart meters and smart parking lots, smart tracking devices, smart health services, and industrial and agricultural use cases.

The narrow-band Internet technology has been strengthened with a wide range of units supported by Media Tech devices and the Internet Modern small-scale things, developed by Nokia Evermed Networks on the basis of version 14 of the 3GPP Generation Partnership project.

du, Nokia, EverMed Networks and Media Tech reviewed a new use case to intelligently calculate electricity and water consumption alongside benefits. Associated with it, as the modern narrow-band IoT network from version 14 provided a coverage range deeper than 10 decibels which is better than that provided by the LTE network in the band 20 (800MHz), in addition to that, the network saved the device's energy consumption to take advantage of Longer battery life while maintaining significantly better data rate and low response time compared to version 13.

Salim Al Balushi, CEO of Emirates Integrated Communications Company, said that the modern network of Internet of Things technology Narrow-band, which is based on the latest version 14, opens the way to take advantage of new capabilities thanks to its multiple benefits such as increased productivity, reduced response time, and improved data transfer rate.

Miles Sun, General Manager of Media Tech Sales in Asia and Africa, stated that the primary goal is to enable Smart City Solution Providers by providing them with an integrated portfolio of fully standardized and standardized IoT technologies. This collaboration with du contributes to the application of the new generation of IoT technologies and services on the ground. MediaTech technology, thanks to its simplicity of design, helps in the process of authentication and certification, which in turn reduces the cost and time required to publish new cases of IoT use. Our main focus is on designing effective technologies.
