Why Choose NB-Fi over Wi-Fi or 5g?
Unlike 5G or Wi-Fi, which are great for consumer devices but not always ideal for industrial-scale energy management, NB-Fi offers the perfect balance of long-range communication and energy efficiency. This means you can maximize data transfer, even from meters located far away or in hard-to-reach areas, without overloading your network.
Here’s why the NB-Fi Base Station is the ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their energy management solutions:
Technology | NB-Fi | 5G | Wi-Fi |
---|---|---|---|
Range | Long-range, up to 10 km | Short-range, up to 1-2 km | Short-range, up to 50 meters |
Power Consumption | Low (designed for energy efficiency) | High | Moderate to high |
Data Transfer | Slightly slower data transfer but optimized for energy usage | High-speed, low-latency, but high energy drain | High-speed but not energy-efficient |
Penetration | Excellent for industrial environments | Moderate | Poor |
Scalability | Built for hundreds of devices | Limited scalability in industrial contexts | Limited for large-scale industrial use |
Maintenance | Low-maintenance, robust net | High maintenance (frequent infrastructure updates) | Regular updates required |
Security | Industrial-grade encryption | High-security protocols but energy-draining | Moderate security, vulnerable to breaches in complex settings |
