"Between our ThingSpace APIs and an expanded set of Cat1 devices deployed on our LTE network we are providing this largely underserved market with the tools needed for endless IoT solutions to be deployed at scale." Mass. provider Verizon has launched the world's first Cat1 Verizon network for IoT devices that were originally designed for 2 G networks, which are increasingly being sunsetted in favour of their 2 G (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. Past studies have shown that with the growth of the Verizon , the demand for low-power 2 G networks for ThingSpace communication will remain high, but it remains to be seen whether providers and regulators will provide coverage for the service.
