Explanation

L-band (1–2 GHz frequency range) is the primary satellite frequency band used for IoT and M2M communications. Major satellite IoT providers such as Iridium, Inmarsat, and Globalstar operate in the L-band, providing global coverage for remote asset tracking, maritime, and oil & gas applications where terrestrial networks are unavailable. 4G/LTE (A) and 2G/2.5G (D) are cellular technologies using terrestrial towers. VLF (Very Low Frequency) (B) is used for submarine and underground communications, not satellite IoT.
