Wireless IoT Forum says IoT will require more bandwidth
2015-10-06 11:35:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Wireless IoT Forum is calling on national telecom regulators such as Ofcom and the FCC to dedicate bandwidth to ensure the monetization and long-term sustainability of IoT networks and services. The Forum said that available bands currently do not meet the needs of large-scale IoT deployment, constrained by power restrictions, interference levels and regulatory factors. For example, problems can arise because all traffic on an IoT network goes through a small number of base stations or network relay points, all subject to the same regulatory constraints as any other device operating in unlicensed spectrum.If current growth trends continue, cells will need sufficient power to deliver a range of up to 5km, the ability to have an uplink/downlink balance that is flexible, reasonable freedom from interference, and a small number of frequencies spanning a relatively narrow band that are available globally.
