− | '''Power requirements''' (the higher ★, the less power consumption) – LTE CAT 1 has the highest throughput, lowest latency and full mobility compared with CAT M1, however these additional benefits bring higher power consumption for the LTE CAT 1 technology. LTE CAT M1 is designed for IoT devices, that means that the power consumption is much lower. CAT M1 supports half or full duplex communication, Voice-over-LTE and the data rates are at medium. | + | '''Power requirements''' (the higher ★, the less power consumption) – LTE CAT 1 has the highest throughput, lowest latency, and full mobility compared with CAT M1, however, these additional benefits bring higher power consumption for the LTE CAT 1 technology.

| '''Overall complexity''' (the higher ★, the less complex technology is) – LTE CAT M1 technology draws significantly less power compared to LTE CAT 1 and simplifies device design. LTE CAT M1 also allows chipset, module, and modem manufacturers to use fewer, and less powerful components, resulting in simpler hardware design. | | '''Overall complexity''' (the higher ★, the less complex technology is) – LTE CAT M1 technology draws significantly less power compared to LTE CAT 1 and simplifies device design.
