Seeed Studio Wio LTE Cat M1/NB1

LTE categories M1 and NB1 have been designed with IoT design and deployment in mind. These new categories operate at lower frequencies enabling them to operate at a longer range and with more penetration capability. In addition the cost point of these new technologies will be cheaper due to the physical silicon chips using smaller areas and using older processes. To top it off the power consumption is lower than other LTE technologies. Cat M1 is capable of 375 kb/s download and upload speeds as well as VoLTE, while Cat NB1 is capable of 27.2 kb/s download speed with 62.5 kb/s upload speed.
