KPN, AT&T, Orange and Swisscom have agreed to support roaming on their LTE-M networks. The deal will make it possible for devices to work efficiently on multiple networks in North America and Europe. The operators expect to to add more parties to the roaming agreements in the coming months.
AT&T implemented an LTE-M network in the US and Mexico. Orange's LTE-M network is available in France and Romania and is expected to roll out later this year to Belgium, Slovakia, Spain and Poland. KPN and Swisscom have LTE-M networks in the Netherlands and Switzerland, respectively.
LTE-M enables a large number of IoT applications at low costs, a longer battery life and good coverage in hard-to-reach locations. The network is suitable for moving objects.
