Not all instrument models offer every option. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet of your instrument for available options.
Introduction
Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB‑IoT) is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) protocol optimized for a large number of low-cost devices to connect to cellular networks in the 200 kHz channel bandwidth, at low data rates. The NB‑IoT standard is integrated in Release 13 of the 3GPP specification.
Option 887 enables your Anritsu test instrument to analyze Standalone and Guard Band NB-IoT downlink signals. The Standalone deployment mode uses the 200 kHz bandwidth, typically by reframing 850/900 MHz GSM carriers. Guard Band NB‑IoT utilizes the empty, or unused, resource blocks within the LTE carrier’s guard band.
