Link labs 2 g 3g cdma transition webinar slides

B
Brian Ray

The document discusses the upcoming sunsets of 2G, 3G, and CDMA networks and what this means for IoT strategies. It provides an overview of the different cellular technologies including their data speeds and which major US carriers support them. Key timeline milestones for network shutdowns by various carriers between 2016-2021 are presented. The document then discusses factors to consider when choosing the right cellular technology for an IoT device, including power constraints, data needs, costs of components, certification, cellular services and managed services. It presents Link Labs as an option to help with the transition and provide related professional services.
