NB-Fi

NB-Fi Protocol is an open source LPWAN protocol, which operates in unlicensed ISM radio band. NB-Fi Protocol enables very-long-range wireless communications (up to 10 km in urban areas; up to 30 km in rural) with low power consumption[1] (up to 10 years on battery power).

NB-Fi Protocol is developed by WAVIoT company[2]

Technology

NB-Fi Protocol employs a proprietary Ultra Narrow Band technology that enables communication using the Industrial, Scientific and Medical ISM radio band (and in other parts of sub-GHz license-free spectrum as well).

NB-Fi Protocol enabled devices, such as water meters, electricity meters and parking sensors requires little energy to operate and can be powered from AA sized battery entire life (up to 10 years).

The network is based on one-hop star topology and requires a SDR-technology base stations to operate.[3] The signal can also be used to easily cover large areas and to reach underground objects.

NB-Fi Protocol compatible radiomodules is manufactured by ON Semiconductor.
