NB-IoT is based on the LTE Air interface (4G). However, 3GPP added both NB-IoT and LTE-M to their 5G MMTC (Massive Machine Type Communications) offering. As such, it can be thought of as “5G MMTC” (but it is not based on the 5G NR (New Radio) technology).
very simple to understand
After Rel 16, NB IoT still considering as 4G or 5G?
