LTE-M

LTE-M is a category of LTE that falls solidly into the set of LPWA technologies. It uses less power than LTE Cat. 1 and provides less throughput as well. LTE-M uses a feature known as coverage enhancement to provide better coverage to devices by means of repeating signaling. LTE-M should be used for devices that require long battery life or deep penetrating coverage. LTE-M also supports mobility, and use cases like asset tracking which do not have tight deadlines for real time location streaming can take advantage of low power and low cost LTE-M radios.
