Deutsche Telekom rolled out its NB-IoT network to 300 locations across Germany, with more than 150 companies trialling the technology. The operator said it is planning to “largely” complete the rollout of the technology by the end of next year, after launching its first networks in June.
Nationwide rollout in the Netherlands was completed in May and work continues on bringing the technology to Greece, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia and Croatia. Since launch, Deutsche Telekom has powered smart parking networks, connected street lights, started researching manufacturing, logistics and aviation solutions, as well as seeing how NB-IoT can improve beekeeping.
Deutsche Telekom revealed the latest milestone in its NB-IoT rollout at last week’s SPS IPC Drives event in Nuremberg. It announced a new solution called Predictive Maintenance, which it offers in partnership with automation specialist Eaton. The solution sets data limits for any connected device and emits an alarm once this threshold has been broken.
