RE:NewsThat's huge news... Bell, Huawei and the premier of Ontario. Bell also PRed the news.
I really believe we will see massive orders from Bell in Q1 when their LTE-M starts rolling out.
The announcement took place this morning with the three partners, alongside OntarioPremier Kathleen Wynne, who highlighted the partnership ahead of her trade mission to China. Bell - "Bell's leadership in LTE-M wireless technology and in the IoT space is a result of our continued investment and innovation in broadband communications networks and services," said Claire Gillies, Vice President, Bell Mobility. "The LTE-M network enables smart sensors to collect and send data over a wider range and with much better battery life – a perfect fit for Henry of Pelham, wineries and growers across the country and many other industries."
In June, Bell announced it will launch an LTE-M (Long Term Evolution, category M1) wireless network in 2018 to support the rapidly increasing use of IoT devices on low-power, wide-area networks (LPWANs) in Canada.
Huawei - "This project represents the best of what we can achieve when working with our long-term partner Bell and emerging Canadian IoT companies like BeWhere," said Steve Lu, President of Huawei Canada. "We are excited about the future of IoT and the benefits that smart agriculture solutions will bring to farms and vineyards across the country.
