Global M2M/IoT Development and Sub-1GHz Communications Industry Research Report 2023: Industry and Consumers Show Great Interest in the Utilization of Sub-1GHz ISM Bands for IoT/M2M Communication

DUBLIN, June 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "M2M/IoT Development - Sub-1GHz Communications - Technologies, Markets, Applications 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report addresses features and properties of Sub-1GHz communication, and its applications for IoT/M2M.

The rapid development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications requires plenty of the frequency spectra.

The Sub-1GHz unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands of 315, 433, 800 and 902 to 928 MHz represent a great solution for some uses. Based on pure physics, these lower frequencies naturally deliver more distance than higher frequencies for a given power level, receiver sensitivity, and antenna gain.

The industry and consumers show great interest in the utilization of Sub-1GHz ISM bands for IoT/M2M communications; there are great opportunities that have not been realized until recently. The report also surveys related to this report industries and patents.

The report is written for a wide audience of technical and managerial staff involved in the development of the IoT/M2M market.

The major attractions of these Sub-1GHz technologies for IoT/M2M communications include:

• Extended range - they allow 5-10 times longer reaches over 2.4 GHz band transmissions. This is the result of smaller losses when signal is travelling through various obstacles; besides, Sub-1GHz ISM bands are less crowded
• Low power consumption
• Support of multiple applications.

The following Sub-1GHz technologies, related markets, standards and applications have been addressed to show their value in the IoT/M2M development:

Short range communications

• ZigBee/802.15.4
• Z-Wave
• EnOcean

Long range communications

• IEEE 802.15.4g
• IEEE 802.11af
• IEEE 802.11ah
• IEEE 802.22
• Weightless
• UNB (Ultra-narrow Band)
