Mukesh Ambani-led Jio claimed that it is the only telco in India to have the capability and network footprint for a nationwide launch of NB-IoT services. It had launched a pilot in Mumbai in 2018 and expects to launch commercial services in the coming months.
“Jio has a unique advantage again being only (4G) LTE<\/a> and all-IP network…we have the capability compared to any other operator to launch nationwide NB-IoT in India without having any incremental spectrum leveraging guard bands,” Jio president Mathew Oommen<\/a> told ET.
Airtel<\/a>, however, countered the claim, saying that the company's pan-India 4G network is also ready to support the technology, along with LTE-M.
\"We have the capability to serve this segment and the market opportunity will depend on how the ecosystem develops and matures. In addition, we can offer IoT and M2M services on our networks,\" a company spokesperson said. “We have been offering these services for years now with millions of connected devices on our network”.
Market leader Vodafone Idea Ltd. (VIL) is also preparing to launch commercial NB-IoT services in India, having rolled out commercial proofs of concept for the services in Kochi, Jaipur, Bengaluru and Chennai. Nick Gliddon, chief enterprise business officer recently told ET that VIL will take its NB-IoT across India in the next 12 months.
While Jio runs a 4G-only network, Airtel and Vodafone Idea, which also offer legacy 2G and 3G services, are rapidly expanding their 4G coverage to match the new entrant.
NB-IoT is a new technology standard, designed to broaden the future of IoT connectivity, providing significantly improved and deeper network coverage for communication between machines while lowering power consumption by devices.
Rohan Dhamija, partner and head of India and Middle East at Analysys Mason said that the NB-IoT launch reflects Jio’s push into enterprise services<\/a>, post its success in the consumer space.
“Though incumbents have been looking at IoT for a while, we expect Jio to go-to-market with a very strong offering, on the back of its technology expertise and market understanding,” he said.
Jio’s Oommen said that NB-IoT is currently evolving and the big use cases will revolve around the smart city concept.
“The biggest use cases smart city uses, whether it is waste management, ag-tech, smart meters or smart energy - all these are very critical to us because these can bring in the energy efficiency to India,” he said.
VIL also said that smart cities will drive growth, along with verticals like smart meters, automotive tracking and utilities.
Oommen said that 5G’s ecosystem for the Internet of Things (IoT) will be heavily dependent on NB-IoT's success in India. “...the evolution of NB-IoT and launch of NBIoT beyond enhance mobile broadband is a critical component to 5G's evolution and India's need to support everything connected,” he said.
India's IoT market size is expected to increase to $9 billion by 2020 from $1.3 billion in 2016, according to consultancy firm Deloitte.

“虽然现任者一直在关注物联网,我们期望Jio营销有很强的提供、背面的技术专长和市场的理解,”他说。
Jio欧门说NB-IoT目前发展和大的用例将围绕着智能城市的概念。
“最大的用例智能城市使用,无论是废物管理,ag-tech,智能电表和智能能源——所有这些对我们很重要,因为这些能给印度带来的能源效率,”他说。
维尔还说,智能城市将推动增长,随着垂直像智能电表,汽车跟踪和公用事业。
欧门说,5 g的物联网生态系统(物联网)将严重依赖NB-IoT在印度的成功。“…NB-IoT的进化和发射NBIoT除了加强移动宽带是一个关键组成部分5克的进化和印度的需要支持所有的联系,”他说。
印度的物联网市场规模预计将增加到90亿美元到2020年从13亿年的2016美元,根据德勤咨询公司。
