LTE-M Carriers in Europe LTE Cat-M1

Connectivity LTE Cat-M1 & NB-IoT

Ok, maybe this is a dumb question, but in case it is, I’m curious about why…

Is it true that Hologram only supports LTE Cat-M1 in the US?
According to Global IoT Coverage | Hologram - yes.

I have to believe most of Western Europe has rolled Cat-M1, so I’m curious if Hologram plans to support it any time soon. I finally released my product (thanks to the Hologram support team, especially Reuben!) and it would be awesome to offer it in Europe:

Hi,

CAT-M1 runs on the same infrastructure as LTE so many carriers in Europe do have it available, we just can’t guarantee the access because the carriers often make changes to their roaming services. Even though we can’t guarantee CAT-M1 in Europe, many of our customers are able to connect to it in most European countries that have the network availability.

Thanks Leo. Someone in Spain said they had LTE-M all over the country. I’ve actually reverted my product to use 4G LTE even though the modules are little more expensive. Wish I’d done this at the outset 2 years ago.
