Twilio Created a NB-IoT Developer Platform for T-Mobile
Cloud platform Twilio is getting into the narrowband-IoT (NB- IoT) space by creating a developer platform for T-Mobile’s NB- IoT network. The platform, which Twilio claims is the first NB-IoT developer platform in the U.S., is intended to help developers quickly make IoT products.
The Twilio Narrowband platform includes a NB-IoT software development kit ( SDK), NB-IoT modules from u-blox that are certified on T-Mobile’s network, and programmable SIM cards.
The Twilio SDK, which is also called Breakout SDK, handles tasks such as network registration and optimizes communication between the device and cloud services. Twilio’s NB-IoT platform will be available in early 2019.
