MediaTek announces global LwM2M over NIDD NB-IoT commercial capability

Lightweight Machine-to-Machine over Non-IP Data Delivery

This development marked the first global commercial capability of LwM2M over NIDD. This is a secure, ultra-efficient IoT communications technique that is being adopted by operators worldwide.

Its benefits include security improvements, cost-efficient scalability, and reduced power consumption.

IoT is currently driving over 50 percent of 5G use cases through devices such as smart meters, smoke detectors, logistics trackers, home appliances, smart city applications, and more. NB-IoT is an integral part of the IoT ecosystem since it connects a variety of data-efficient IoT devices.

MediaTek's MT2625 chip will be able to connect billions of devices through its NB-IoT capabilities and global operator support. LwM2M is currently used in Asia, Europe, and the USA by major operators with NIDD which ensures high data and power-efficient communications protocol and an additional layer of security.

The MT2625 is an NB-IoT chip with wideband support for up to quad-band operation, allowing a single design to address worldwide markets, reducing cost and development time.

The ultra-efficient MCU provides extensive peripheral I/O in a tiny package size for a wide variety of device possibilities. It is now also available for NB-IoT device makers and commercial application developers.
