NB-Io T is the Internet of Things (Io T) technology used for cellular communication. NB-Io T devices deliver much better capability and performance, such as: increased area coverage of up to one kilometer; a massive number of devices—up to 200, 000—per a single base-station area; longer battery lifetime of ten years; and better indoor and outdoor coverage for areas with weak signal, such as underground garages.
The cellular NB-Io T technology is a challenging technology to use and understand. With more than 30 projects presented in this book, covering many use cases and scenarios, this book provides hands-on and practical experience of how to use the cellular NB-Io T for smart applications using Arduino™, Amazon Cloud, Google Maps, and charts.
The book starts by explaining AT commands used to configure the NB-Io T modem; data serialization and deserialization; how to set up the cloud for connecting NB-Io T devices; setting up rules, policy, security certificates, and a No SQL database on the cloud; how to store and read data in the cloud; how to use Google Maps to visualize NB-Io T device geo-location; and how to use charts to visualize sensor datasets.
Projects for Arduino are presented in four parts. The first part explains how to connect the device to the mobile operator and cellular network; perform communication using different network protocols, such as TCP, HTTP, SSL, or MQTT; how to use GPS for geo-location applications; and how to upgrade NB-Io T modem firmware over the air. The second part explains the microcontroller unit and how to build and run projects, such as a 7-segment display or a real-time clock. The third part explains how NB-Io T can be used with sensor devices, such as ultrasonic and environmental sensors. Finally, the fourth part explains how NB-Io T can be used to control actuators, such as stepper motors and relays.
This book is a unique resource for understanding practical uses of the NB-Io T technology and serves as a handbook for technical and non-technical readers who are looking for practicing and exercising the cellular NB-Io T technology. The book can be used by engineers, students, researchers, system integrators, mobile operators’ technical staff, and electronics enthusiasts.
