The rapid development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications requires plenty of the frequency spectra.
This report addresses features and properties of Sub-1GHz communication, and its applications for IoT/M2M. The Sub-1GHz unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands of 315, 433, 800 and 902 to 928 MHz represent a great solution for some uses. Based on pure physics, these lower frequencies naturally deliver more distance than higher frequencies for a given power level, receiver sensitivity, and antenna gain.
The following Sub-1GHz technologies, related markets, standards and applications have been addressed to show their value in the IoT/M2M development:
Short range communications
- ZigBee/802.15.4
- Z-Wave
- EnOcean
Long range communications
- IEEE 802.15.4g
- IEEE 802.11af
- IEEE 802.11ah
- IEEE 802.22
- Weightless
- UNB (Ultra-narrow Band)
- Other
The major attractions of these Sub-1GHz technologies for IoT/M2M communications include:
- Extended range - they allow 5-10 times longer reaches over 2.4 GHz band transmissions. This is the result of smaller losses when signal is travelling through various obstacles; besides, Sub-1GHz ISM bands are less crowded
- Low power consumption
- Support of multiple applications.
The industry and consumers show great interest in the utilization of Sub-1GHz ISM bands for IoT/M2M communications; there are great opportunities that have not been realized until recently.
The report also surveys related to this report industries and patents.
The report is written for a wide audience of technical and managerial staff involved in the development of the IoT/M2M market.

Methodology
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed; evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted.
Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
