KYIV, Feb 13 – Kyivstar mobile communications operator is launching the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB IoT) network in the 1800 MHz frequency band (Band 3), the press service of the operator reported.

The operator tested the NB IoT networks designed for smart devices in December 2018 and early 2019 in its laboratory using gas and water meters.

"Successful testing of the network allowed us to scale up the project and begin its implementation at client locations. In particular, the operator's business clients in Kyiv and Odesa regions have already joined the network for testing it at their enterprises," the company said.
