NB-IoT:
Low Data, low Frequency
If your battery-powered IoT devices operate for long periods without a power source or are used in hard-to-reach places like basements, NB-IoT is the ideal choice. While it supports only small data volumes, this cellular standard offers extremely long battery life, excellent building penetration, and cost-efficient connectivity.
LTE-M:
Medium Data, low Frequency
The LTE-M standard provides sufficient bandwidth for medium data volumes, cost-effective hardware, and long battery life for deployments without a power supply. This makes it ideal for use cases such as e-health solutions that transmit vital signs to the cloud or cold chain monitoring in logistics.
4G & 5G:
Maximum Data, high Frequency
For IoT applications with high data demands, such as VR headsets or video surveillance, 4G technology is the ideal choice. If you also require ultra-low latency – for example, in autonomous vehicles or drone operations – 5G technology is the way to go.
5G Campus-Network:
Maximum performance on your company premises
With Deutsche Telekom’s 5G Campus Networks, businesses gain a customized, private mobile network tailored to their site. High bandwidth, low latency, and secure data transmission enable real-time control of machines, robots, and connected devices. Whether for autonomous transport systems, smart manufacturing, or augmented reality – 5G Campus Networks deliver stable, high-performance IoT connectivity for your enterprise.
Satellite:
Global Connectivity for your Project

IoT Hub
Simplify the implementation of your IoT project with our platform-independent translator for IoT systems. Harmonize various platforms, mobile network operators, and devices to reduce complexity.
IoT devices have different data volume requirements than smartphones. Therefore, wireless networks specially developed for IoT are used, which also provide additional functions, such as energy-saving networking, which are crucial for operation in the Internet of Things.
The choice of suitable wireless technology for the transmission of IoT data depends heavily on the specific requirements of the application. From 4G or 5G to LPWA technologies such as NB IoT, LTE-M, LoRaWAN or Sigfox, everything is possible.
Some use cases require IoT connectivity in places where mobile connectivity via NB-IoT, LTE-M, 4G or 5G is not possible – for example, tracking containers on cargo ships or monitoring wind power plants in remote regions.
Deutsche Telekom is closing this gap with satellite communication, which will complement the classic terrestrial IoT networks in the future. To this end, we are working together with the satellite specialists Intelsat and Skylo.
The security of IoT networks is crucial for companies. That's why we at Deutsche Telekom give you the opportunity to secure the data connections of your sensitive IoT projects using state-of-the-art encryption concepts.
IoT projects can comprise hundreds or even thousands of devices connected via mobile networks. The sheer number of connections can make it challenging to keep an overview of the use and billing of the SIM cards, which is why we provide access to our IoT customer portal (M2M Service Portal 3.0). Here, you can manage SIM cards, contracts, invoices, reports and usage data via an online portal or simply integrate them into your business processes via an API.

We will gladly advise you and select the right components from the many possible combinations available at Deutsche Telekom. Furthermore, we do not simply support you during the technical implementation – we also help you develop a suitable business plan. To this end, we offer digital strategy workshops and accompany you in performing the proof of concept for your digital strategy. Please do not hesitate to call us!
