Maxis just launched their first Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) service. Here are the full details!
The Maxis NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) Service
The Maxis NB-IoT is a dedicated network for IoT devices. It offers 5G-like capabilities for low bandwidth applications and supports millions of connected things.
It also uses less power which allows for longer battery life. The NB-IoT network will enable expansion of advanced data analytics to enable companies to quickly make decisions in areas, like
- potential cost savings
- improved efficiency
- business opportunities
Maxis NB-IoT Coverage Areas
Maxis started operating their NB-IoT network on 16 April 2019 in selected areas within key IoT market centres, including :
- Cyberjaya
- Penang
- Kuching
- Putrajaya
- Johor Bahru
- KLCC
Maxis Partners Vodafone In Its NB-IoT Services
Vodafone will also support Maxis in developing their NB-IoT ecosystem through the sharing of knowledge and access to the technology.
Maxis set up its IoT Innovation Lab in 2018 as an experiential showcase for enterprise customers of NB-IoT solutions that include :
- smart lighting
- parking monitoring
- smoke alarms
- smart metering
- environmental monitoring
NB-IoT also presents great possibilities for key players like the government, state councils and Malaysian businesses in the prime areas of agriculture, utilities and Smart Cities.
“There is an immense amount of opportunities for NB-IoT especially around big data analytics and in enabling real life use cases.
The launch will encourage the development of an ecosystem of partners, developers and customers that will offer even more opportunities for enterprises, to better manage and optimise their assets, their environment, their energy usage and the safety of their people, and to unlock the potential for the delivery of new services in the Malaysian market.
This is a significant step for us as it sets the standards in the deployment of IoT solutions,” said Paul McManus, Head of Enterprise, Maxis.
