NB-IoT Planning in Jakarta Area for Smart Meter Utilities

Usage of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB- IoT) is predicted to grow in the future with various applications. One of its implementations in the field of energy, namely smart meters, is expected to increase production efficiency and improve services for customers. In this paper, we intend to conduct an NB-IoT planning analysis to support the deployment of electricity smart meters, water smart meters, and gas smart meters utilities in the Jakarta area. The result to be achieved is the estimated number of evolved node B (eNodeB) needed to service the area from coverage and capacity review.
