NB-IoT is the Internet of Things (IoT) technology used for cellular
communication. NB-IoT devices deliver much better capability and
performance, such as: increased area coverage of up to one
kilometer; a massive number of devices-up to 200,000-per a single
base-station area; longer battery lifetime of ten years; and better
indoor and outdoor coverage for areas with weak signal, such as
underground garages. The cellular NB-IoT technology is a
challenging technology to use and understand. With more than 30
projects presented in this book, covering many use cases and
scenarios, this book provides hands-on and practical experience of
how to use the cellular NB-IoT for smart applications using Arduino
(TM), Amazon Cloud, Google Maps, and charts. The book starts by
explaining AT commands used to configure the NB-IoT modem; data
serialization and deserialization; how to set up the cloud for
connecting NB-IoT devices; setting up rules, policy, security
certificates, and a NoSQL database on the cloud; how to store and
read data in the cloud; how to use Google Maps to visualize NB-IoT
device geo-location; and how to use charts to visualize sensor
datasets. Projects for Arduino are presented in four parts. The
first part explains how to connect the device to the mobile
operator and cellular network; perform communication using
different network protocols, such as TCP, HTTP, SSL, or MQTT; how
to use GPS for geo-location applications; and how to upgrade NB-IoT
modem firmware over the air. The second part explains the
microcontroller unit and how to build and run projects, such as a
7-segment display or a real-time clock. The third part explains how
NB-IoT can be used with sensor devices, such as ultrasonic and
environmental sensors. Finally, the fourth part explains how NB-IoT
can be used to control actuators, such as stepper motors and
relays. This book is a unique resource for understanding practical
uses of the NB-IoT technology and serves as a handbook for
technical and non-technical readers who are looking for practicing
and exercising the cellular NB-IoT technology. The book can be used
by engineers, students, researchers, system integrators, mobile
operators' technical staff, and electronics enthusiasts. To
