Orange recently launched LTE-M network in France, opening the door for various Internet of Things and connection equipment solutions.

Previously, Orange has launched a similar LTE-M network in Belgium. Orange also said it plans to launch LTE-M networks in Romania and Spain by the end of 2018.

This highlights Orange's increasing interest in the European Internet of things and intelligent solutions.

Orange will provide LTE-M technology to all French companies and enterprises that have ordered its 4G IoT products through Orange Business Services.
