Sigfox for IoT in Mobile Networks
Sigfox is a low-power, long-range wireless communication system for IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
This technology is not directly integrated into mobile networks. However it works in conjunction with mobile networks using the integration of Sigfox gateways.
Sigfox has built its own global network of base stations, and operates as a network service provider, offering connectivity to IoT devices. It operates in the unlicensed radio bands, which reduces the overall deployment costs.
This technology provides wide range coverage for IoT devices, but with low bit-rate capabilities. It has extremely low power consumption, allowing IoT devices to operate for up to 10 years on a single battery.

5G Network Slicing
5G Network Slicing means that, to divide the physical network that the operator is having, into different logical networks with different characteristics. Every logical network, is a network slice. And every network slice has different characteristics from the other network slices, so that it can serve a certain type of services accordingly. Every network function…

5G Core Network Architecture
In this post, we will learn 5G Network Architecture. The control plane in 5G network includes the AMF, the SMF, the AUSF, the UDM, and the PCF. While the user plane includes the UPF. The control plane is not including those network functions only, there are another network functions in the control plane, that will be discussed later. In…
