Abstract
The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for using Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) to connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the internet. The devices and methods may dynamically switch from using communication interfaces associated with Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) to communication interfaces that support greater amounts of bandwidth in response to detecting an increase in data traffic. The devices and methods may dynamically establish communication interfaces for transmitting data packets in response to determining that a data transfer rate for the data packets exceeds a threshold. The devices and methods may switch to the newly established communication interface for sending the data packets.
