Glossary of common IoT terms
2G
Second-generation mobile standard based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and working with digital transmission technology and circuit switching. This technology will no longer be supported from 2020.
3G
Third-generation mobile standard based on UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and providing much faster data transfer speeds than 2G.
4G
Fourth-generation mobile standard based on LTE (Long Term Evolution) mobile technology, not only offering higher speeds but also facilitating real-time gaming and video conferences on mobile devices.
5G
Fifth-generation mobile standard that is not only faster than previous generations but can also be used for applications that were barely imaginable until now. This standard is currently being selectively introduced by Swisscom.
NB-IoT
Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is a ‘Low Power Wide Area Network’ through which devices and services can be connected via mobile technology. It was developed for the Internet of Things (IoT).
IoT
IoT (Internet of Things) signifies technologies that connect physical and virtual objects together and enable them to communicate with each other.
M2M
M2M (Machine to Machine) is the exchange of information between terminal devices, making remote maintenance possible, for example.
LPN
Low Power Network (LPN) is used by IoT applications with autonomous devices that only transmit small quantities of data. It is based on the open LoRaWAN industry standard.
LoRa
LoRa is the abbreviation for ‘Long Range’.
LoRaWAN
The ‘Low Power Wide Area Network’ (LoRaWAN) is an LPWA network protocol that wirelessly connects battery-operated ‘things’ with the Internet in regional, national or global networks.
CMP
M2M solutions can be centrally managed using the Connectivity Management Platform (CMP), providing a continuous overview of device status data, connections and costs.
IoT Cloud
The IoT Cloud is a platform for managing industrial machines and devices, and storing the generated data.
IoT gateways
IoT gateways (IoT access) bridge the gap between industrial machines and the IoT Cloud. They comprise both hard- and software components.
