We thought it would be fun to share some results. ## Test Summary - Battery powered LTE-M + GPS Device (Sequans Chipset) - GPS Receiver used to acquire fix every 60 seconds - GPS Coordinates transmitted using LTE Cat-M1 to Verizon to [Link Labs Conductor](https://www.link-labs.com/conductor-automated-connectivity-and-data-management-platform) - Device was driven 60 miles across Maryland ### Setup ![LTE-M Setup 1.png](https://www.link-labs.com/hubfs/LTE-M%20Setup%201.png) ![LTE-M Setup 2.png](https://www.link-labs.com/hubfs/LTE-M%20Setup%202.png) We then set out on a nice 60 mile long drive from Frederick to Annapolis, Maryland. This route included interstate and rural road routes.  ### GPS Data - Overview #### Trip distance: 60 miles ![LTE-M GPS Data.png](https://www.link-labs.com/hubfs/LTE-M%20GPS%20Data.png) ### GPS Data - Accuracy while in motion ![LTE-M Accuracy While In Motion.png](https://www.link-labs.com/hubfs/LTE-M%20Accuracy%20While%20In%20Motion.png) ## LTE-M Received Signal - LTE-M Received Signal Reference Power (RSRP) measures signal power from a specific sector while excluding noise and interference from other sectors. - Minimum sensitivity for RSRP = -120dBm - Learn more: [http://www.laroccasolutions.com/78-rsrp-and-rsrq-measurement-in-lte/](http://www.laroccasolutions.com/78-rsrp-and-rsrq-measurement-in-lte/) ![LTE-M-RSRP-TEST-DATA.png](https://www.link-labs.com/hubfs/LTE-M-RSRP-TEST-DATA.png) As you can see, despite many doubters, LTE CAT-M1 is live across the US on the Verizon Network.  [Read more about how this exciting technology is revolutionary for IoT devices.](https://www.link-labs.com/blog/what-is-lte-m) [![WhitePaper Download CTA](https://www.link-labs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WhitePaper%20Download%20CTA.png?width=800&name=WhitePaper%20Download%20CTA.png)](https://www.link-labs.com/intelligent-rfid-whitepaper-airfinder) Share Article: - [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.link-labs.com%2Fblog%2Ftest-results-lte-cat-m1&title=Test%20Results:%20LTE-M%20Live%20in%20US&source=leadquizzes.com) - [Twitter](http://twitter.com/home?status=Test%20Results:%20LTE-M%20Live%20in%20US+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.link-labs.com%2Fblog%2Ftest-results-lte-cat-m1) - [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.link-labs.com%2Fblog%2Ftest-results-lte-cat-m1&title=Test%20Results:%20LTE-M%20Live%20in%20US) ![Jennifer Halstead](https://www.link-labs.com/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(2).png) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-halstead-925913196/) ### Written by [Jennifer Halstead](https://www.link-labs.com/blog/author/jennifer-halstead) Jennifer Halstead, MBA, CPA brings more than 20 years industry experience to Link Labs.
