MT2625 NB-IoT chip validated for LwM2M over NIDD, ultra-secure and low
power communication, on SoftBank Corp.’s cellular network
MediaTek today announced its MT2625 NB-IoT chip has
been validated for LwM2M over NIDD on SoftBankCorp.’s cellular network across Japan . This
achievement marks the first global commercial readiness of LwM2M over NIDD; a
secure, ultra-efficient IoT communications technique that is being adopted by operators worldwide. The benefits
of LwM2M over NIDD include security improvements, cost-efficient scalability
and reduced power consumption.
This
collaboration builds a firm foundation for the IoT industry in Japan to
embrace new IoT applications and services, accelerating market growth in the
country.
IoT
(mMTC) is driving over 50% of 5G use cases through devices such as smart
meters, smoke detectors, logistics trackers, home appliances, smart city
applications and much more. NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) plays an important role in
the IoT ecosystem, by connecting a wide range of data-efficient IoT devices.
MediaTek is enabling the 5G IoT revolution that will connect billions of
devices with its MT2625 chip, which offers leading NB-IoT capabilities and
global operator support.
LwM2M
standard is widely used in Asia, Europe and the United States by major operators,
with NIDD (Non-IP Data Delivery) providing a highly data- and power-efficient
communications protocol and an additional layer of security through pre-defined
routing.
The
MT2625 is a leading NB-IoT chip with wideband support for up to quad-band
operation, allowing a single design to address worldwide markets, reducing cost
and development time. The ultra-efficient MCU provides extensive peripheral I/O
in a tiny package size for a wide variety of device possibilities. It is
available now for NB-IoT device makers and commercial application developers.
