Participating event partners include Renesas, Arrow Electronics and Bug Labs. US provider Verizon has launched the world's first Cat1 LTE network for IoT devices that were originally designed for 2G networks, which are increasingly being sunsetted in favour of their 4G (or LTE) counterparts. The new network is to service low-bandwidth low-power solutions, such as embedded monitoring systems, or household devices that only need to "call-home" once or twice a day. In addition to providing faster speeds and more reliable connections than its predecessors, Verizon's 5GHz network, called "5G," will also support advanced features like beamforming and 4x4 MIMO (multiple input
