Background: The Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly entered today's networked world, affecting healthcare and transportation. 5G networks and sophisticated IoT technologies would provide many services and boost business across sectors. IoT devices with low data demands, like sensors and alarms, will benefit from LTE technology's high-speed data transfer. Objective: This study covers Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology and its function in the Internet of Things. It investigates LTE's architecture, protocols, standards, prospects, and difficulties in the IoT ecosystem and its future potential. Methods: The LTE technology, Nb-IoT requirements, IoT capabilities and constraints were examined. LTE technological developments and advances that might improve IoT device performance are also reviewed. Results: LTE significantly impacts IoT ecosystem issues such as network coverage, bandwidth, and power consumption. It also covers LTE's continuous advances and phasing out in favor of 5G, which promises better connection and dependability. Conclusion: LTE is a key technology in IoT development, solving present issues and creating growth opportunities. LTE remains important in mobile communications and IoT development despite the coming switch to 5G. This evaluation helps academics, engineers, developers, and anybody interested in LTE-IoT interactions.
