The role of the telecommunications segment has never been more important than in the context of the spread of a pandemic. The rise in the number of cases, the trend towards social distancing, the transition to a remote model of work and learning, and many other changes in the daily life of people have led mobile operators to develop relevant and appropriate responses to the rapidly increasing load on mobile networks. And concern for the health of employees has shown the need for the widespread development of IoT technology, which limits human-to-human interaction. Narrow band Internet of things (NB-IoT) technology is one of the few that has proven its value in a global pandemic through the ability to remotely manage and control some important social services [1]. Features and benefits of using NB-IoT technology in the provision of IoT services during the COVID-19 pandemic are given in this article. Key words: Internet of things, NB-IoT, COVID-19, mobile network, LTE.
