LWPA includes the four main categories:
LTE / CAT-1
- LTE CAT-1
LTE-M / CAT-M
- LC-LTE/MTCe:
- LTE CAT-M (eMTC): LTE-CAT-M1, LTE-CAT-M2
NBIOT / CAT-NB
- LET-CAT-NB1
- LTE-CAT-NB2
EC-GSM-IoT
The figure explain the main feature of the three:
| Type | Bandwidths | Peneration | Peak data rate | Power Consumption | Mobility | Voice Capability | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LTE CAT-1 | 20 mhz | good | ~10M bps | High | Yes | Yes | High |
| LTE-CAT-M1 | 1.4 mhz | better (indoor) | ~1M bps | Medium | Yes | Yes | Medium |
| LET-CAT-NB1 | 200 khz | best | <100K bps | Low | Limited | No | Low |
