Communications chip maker Sequans will join with Ericsson to demonstrate new communications protocol, CTIA Super Mobility Week category 0, at LTE in Las Vegas. Category 0 CTIA Super Mobility Week is about 60% cheaper and more power efficient than regular CTIA Super Mobility Week (or 4G, in common parlance); and with a speed of top up to 1Mbps, category 0 is a perfect fit for IoT devices. Sequans expects category 0 to hit the market next year. Other low-power, wide-area data networks have already hit the market, with Sigfox leading the way in Europe in the race to become the de facto IoT communications standard.
