Welcome to the world of the Internet Of Everything! With the arrival of 5G in 2020, connected objects will experience a real revolution. This new generation of standard goes far beyond an improved 4G. It promises new possibilities and unprecedented adaptability. Currently deployed in 83 countries, 5G will be 100 times more powerful than 4G and will adapt to all types of connected objects. The 5G network will therefore have almost nothing to do with what we know about mobile networks today. The most impacted environment will be the IoT (Internet of Thingswhich will see its market explode.

5G has been tested for 3 years for several purposesaccelerate the'exchange of'information, secure the sharingtransfer more data and consume less energy.'energy. In the specific field of'IoTit divides connected objects into three sections:
- L'Low bandwidth IoT that'sends only little data continuously or after an event. Sensors from home automation or smart cities are part of this family. Their specificityThey are placed in places where changing the battery is difficult.

5G has therefore been thoughte to respond to these three families:

The development of technologys LTE-M and NB-IoT
In conjunction with the development of 5G, the industry has improved the standards for'evolution. Focus on the two most promising technologiesNB-IoT and LTE-M.
NB-Iot (for Narrowband IoT) is a serious asset when the'objective concerns the'use of'energy. This technology of'infrastructure technology could offer 10 years of'autonomy to a 5Wh battery by optimizing the's energy and energy recovery.'ambient energy. NB-IoT exploits a frequency band 200KhZ band and is used for fixed sensors that do not'need only'a low volume of data such as the meters of'water or'electricity meters.
The LTE-M technology is'technology is used extensively in mobile telephony since it is the most widely used technology in the world.'It is compatible with the existing networks and is not a problem for mobile phones.'It is compatible with existing networks and does not require the'It is compatible with existing networks and does not require the acquisition of new modems. With its high transfer rate, LTE-M will also evolve also such as remote monitoring or autonomous vehicles. Another advantageLTE-M supports voice and object mobility.
The impact of 5G on the IT market'IoT
In both the private and professional spheres, 5G should conquer the hearts of all! In its report, GSMA estimates that IoT connections will triple by 2025 to 25 billion connections. For its part, Ericsson is betting on 4.5 billion long-range connections and 17.8 billion shorte range connections by 2024.
