True to its word, Verizon is launching a nationwide 4G LTE Category M1 (Cat M1) network before the end of Q1. The telco says it will light up the Cat M1 network on March 31, making it the first commercial, LTE-based solution for IoT connectivity available across the US.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) built out its Cat M1 network over 2.4 million square miles and is operating the infrastructure in a virtualized cloud environment that is meant to enable rapid application development. The company is working with a number of ecosystem partners, including chipset and hardware manufacturers like Gemalto , Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq: QCOM) and Sequans Communications , among others. Critically, Verizon is also pairing its IoT network with its own ThingSpace IoT platform. ThingSpace is Verizon's software development platform designed for creating applications ranging from smart transportation apps to connected healthcare solutions.
