AT&T and Vodafone Business in Commercial Inter-carrier Arrangement for NB-IoT Roaming Across U.S. and Europe
23 Ottobre 2019 - 10:00AM
AT&T* and Vodafone Business will open up access to their
respective NB-IoT networks to make it easier for customers to
create massive IoT deployments that work across the U.S. and parts
of Europe.
The inter-carrier roaming arrangement creates the largest NB-IoT
footprint in the world. It will include the country-wide NB-IoT
network for AT&T in the U.S. and the Vodafone networks in
Spain, Germany, Italy, UK and the Netherlands. It will be available
to customers by the end of 2019.
NB-IoT is a low-power wide-area network designed specifically
for IoT devices that require long battery life, high-signal
penetration and low data volumes.
This network arrangement enables companies to take advantage of
the unique network features of NB-IoT, simplifying their supply
chain and facilitating seamless operations across multiple networks
with a single highly secure SIM.
“Extending our collaboration with AT&T to offer NB-IoT
roaming helps our customers to easily deploy their connected
devices between the U.S. and Europe,” said Vinod Kumar, CEO,
Vodafone Business. “We want to make technology adoption simpler for
our customers to help them achieve their business outcomes and by
pushing forward the standards and linking up our IoT network with
AT&T’s, we’re doing just that.”
“For the IoT to live up to its promise, it must be global,” said
Chris Penrose, Senior Vice President of Advanced Mobility and
Enterprise Solutions, AT&T. “More and more of our enterprise
customers are launching IoT applications across multiple countries.
Working with Vodafone we can offer our customers simplified
deployments to help scale their IoT plans across the U.S. and
Europe.”
This collaboration builds on the previous announcement in
February that AT&T and Vodafone Business are offering LTE-M
roaming across their respective networks in the U.S. and the
Netherlands.
Both carriers are committed to expanding their NB-IoT and LTE-M
roaming footprints globally to put LPWA on a similar global
footprint to 4G. NB-IoT and LTE-M are also expected to be included
in the global standards for 5G massive IoT.
