Telstra COO Robyn Denholm said Cat M1 would allow IoT devices to have years of battery life, as well as support greater range from the tower and into buildings.

"With the unique features and coverage of Cat M1 enabled devices, we see this as an investment in the IoT ecosystem in Australia that will support new startups across a range of sectors, including agriculture, transportation, healthcare, and mining," Denholm said.

"With the boom in smart devices, video streaming, and cloud computing, we are forecasting that over the next five years we will have five times the traffic on our network, four times the devices, and a growing range of ever more complex applications."
