Murata's LBAD0ZZ1SE-743 cellular end device features a highly integrated (MCU, eSIM and LTE-M/NB1 modem), certified end device with an antenna connection for ease of integration with several different types of applications. This technology is for IoT devices to connect directly to a 4G network without a gateway and typically on batteries.

LTE-M which includes eMTC (enhanced machine type communication), is a type of low-power wide area network (LPWAN) radio technology standard developed by 3GPP to enable a wide range of cellular devices and services (specifically for machine-to-machine and internet-of-things applications). This ultra-small highly integrated end device provides a quicker time to market because no carrier or regulatory certification is required. The end benefit is less development time and faster-to-market opportunities for end equipment requiring LTE Cat M1 connectivity.
Narrow band-internet-of-things (NB-IoT) is a standards-based low-power wide area (LPWA) technology developed to enable a wide range of IoT devices and services. NB-IoT significantly improves the power consumption of user devices, system capacity, and spectrum efficiency, especially in deep coverage.
