New Zealand’s Spark has extended its Cat-M1 Internet of Things (IoT) network to 98 percent of the New Zealand population.
The Cat-M1 network is deployed across 96 percent of Spark’s 4G sites, with the carrier expecting to add more than 2,000 new IoT devices every week.
The first customer to use the new network is Trans-Tasman smart metering service IntelliHUB. Spark is expecting its Cat-M1 network to provide for use cases across smart city infrastructure, horticulture machinery tracking, video surveillance, biometrics, outpatient monitoring, telematics, and smart wearables.
