Why RF Testing Matters in Cellular IoT
27/11/2025 ,
As the Internet of Things expands across industries, from smart cities and industrial monitoring to healthcare and agriculture, the demand for reliable, wide-coverage connectivity has never been greater. Traditional IoT approaches using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® face significant limitations in range, mobility, and scalability, making cellular IoT technologies increasingly essential.
Understanding proper RF testing methodologies is critical for successful product development. Engineers must navigate complex 3GPP specifications while ensuring devices meet stringent power consumption requirements and maintain reliable connectivity across varying network conditions. Inadequate testing can result in costly field failures, regulatory compliance issues, and compromised battery life.
This comprehensive webinar provides engineers with detailed insights into cellular IoT testing, focusing on the two key Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies: Cat-M1 (LTE-M) and NB-IoT. Both technologies are optimized for IoT applications, offering extended battery life, deep building penetration, and cost-effective connectivity for low-data-rate applications.
Watch the webinar and learn about:
- Understanding fundamentals of Cellular IoT technologies
- How the RF testing uncovers hidden issues that only appear in real-world conditions
- How the RF behaviour directly impacts power consumption
- How to test for deep indoor and remote-area coverage, especially for NB-IoT and Cat-M1 use cases like smart meters and asset trackers
- How to replicate low-signal and mobility scenarios using RF test equipment, before your device ever hits the field
