T-Mobile’s been making a big Internet of Things (IoT) push over the last year or so, and today that effort continues.

T-Mobile has introduced two IoT Access packs that aim to make it simple to get IoT devices online. The base plan includes up to 5MB of data per month for $20 per year per device, and $6 per year per device afterward. The step-up plan offers unlimited data at 64Kbps for $25 per year per device, with a limited time offer of $5 off the first year for each device.

No matter which plan customers choose, T-Mo will cover the cost of a Sequans Cat1 module via bill credits.

In other T-Mobile IoT news, T-Mo says that it is continuing to work on Category M and Narrowband IoT. These next-gen modules can utilize T-Mobile’s LTE coverage and will help to give IoT customers options for faster data and longer life cycles compared to 2G networks.

Today’s announcements are just the latest in T-Mobile’s effort to be part of the growing IoT market, following partnerships with companies like Twilio, Sequans, and Novatel Wireless. With its new IoT Access packs, T-Mo aims to make its service attractive to IoT customers by bundling the service and module into one purchase, making it easier and faster for customers to get their IoT devices online.
