Agree with Jari, with the caveat that the 3GPP isn't good at "running code". Many of the features that are described on paper aren't implemented in code and those that are implemented in code aren't always working the same or active in either a device or a network. I recently did a project for a client who does large scale industrial energy metering. It was an evaluation of their and other firms experience with mobile networking technologies and an advice on what technology they would bet the firm on for the next 5 years. NB-IOT isn't supported in some of their major markets, so that was a no go. Despite LTE-M looking great on paper for their use case, their experience in reality was that: - LTE-M isn't supported widely on mobile networks in Europe, - LTE-M support from device manufacturers is minimal, - LTE-M roaming doesn't work as advertised (or not at all) between some MNOs, - LTE-M devices may receive just enough signal to keep them locked onto one network, but just too little to send data (probably a firmware bug in the modem), instead of switching to another mobile network. - LTE-M issues are blamed by the MNO on the device/modem manufacturer, they blame it on the MNO and network manufacturer (Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei), who either don't respond or blame it on their competitors, the MNO, the manufacturer or the client. - etc etc The conclusion was that LTE CAT-1 is the future and not LTE-M (or NB-IOT). It doesn't support the cool features, but it is similar what consumers use and works on all networks, with roaming. In 5G there is an M2M version called REDCAP (REDuced CAPability) which promises even more magic for IoT type applications. However here too, those functions aren't present in the initial releases and network and device support is unknown. I was told by one person that REDCAP had learned from the LTE-M vs LTE CAT-1 fight. He said that it is supposed to run any standard 5G network, but when challenged that person couldn't show me any industry source (he too had heard it from someone else). So I hope REDCAP is better, but I'm waiting 5 years or so until we have some actual statistics and working devices.
