Narrowband is an alternative to the more widely adopted Broadband communications. Broadband can be referred to as Wideband communications. Narrowband or Narrowband IoT (referred to as NB-IoT) is a standards-based low power wide area network (LPWA) technology that can be used for communications over a wide area for Internet of Things devices. Narrowband is less costly to establish than a Broadband-based network with improved power consumption, system capacity and spectrum efficiency.
Wireless IoT Environmental Monitoring Devices
The wireless IoT environmental monitoring devices from Server Room Environments include the AKCP sensorProbe Wireless Tunnel Server (SP-WTS) and Sensor Connector (SP-WT) using LoRa technology, HW Group SD devices that rely on a WiFi or hardwired local Ethernet connection, NB devices that use SIM-based Narrowband communications, and the RT Smart Data wireless WiFi/4G/LTE gateway and sensor tiles. Wireless devices can be used to monitor a range of environmental factors in server rooms, data centres, offices, warehouses and other buildings including remote locations. Using wireless devices reduces installation cabling costs and provides a fast way to roll out additional monitoring points for temperature, humidity and water leakage, and digital input (DI) or digital out (DO) connections.

How to Monitor Applications Using Wireless Environment Monitoring Sensors
Wireless environmental monitoring is a way to add monitoring to a building, cabinet or application using an IoT protocol (e.g. LoRa), SIM or an Ethernet/WiFi connection. Typical applications for wireless environmental monitoring sensors include:
- Temperature, humidity and water leakage monitoring in large server rooms, data centres and remote sites including mobile telecomms
- Remote building security access and intrusion prevention requiring input and output contacts
The different between the systems available from Server Room Environments is shown in the table below.
