However, when you think of IoT, you’ll likely revert to an established IoT sector – automotive, retail, and transportation, are key examples. Given the meteoric rise of IoT connectivity to connect everything, even outside of these broad categories, where will the market turn to continue its growth? The answer is System Integrators. ###### Topics: [IoT](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/iot) [News](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/news) [Connectivity](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/connectivity) [System Integrators](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/system-integrators) [MNO](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/mno) ###### 4 min read ## [Cellular IoT: an inflection point around the corner?](https://blog.futuremobile.live/cellular-iot-inflection-point) By [Gregory Gundelfinger](https://blog.futuremobile.live/author/gregory-gundelfinger) on Sep 14, 2020 2:54:00 PM [![](https://blog.futuremobile.live/hubfs/2020.09.09-Telna-Article-cellular-iot-inflection-point.jpg) ](https://blog.futuremobile.live/cellular-iot-inflection-point) This article aims to predict when the inflection point for mass traction of cellular IoT will occur.

The pandemic initially slowed the manufacturing, distribution and implementation of IoT projects, but also showed the need for the technology. IoT device adoption in supply chain operations will play a role in mitigating future disruption caused by the virus, as well as making processes more efficient to enable IoT rollouts to get back on track. ###### Topics: [eSIM](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/esim) [Global Connectivity](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/global-connectivity) [COVID-19](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/covid-19) [Cellular IoT](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/cellular-iot) ###### 3 min read ## [Accelerating cellular IoT and solving ecosystem complexities](https://blog.futuremobile.live/accelerating-cellular-iot-and-solving-ecosystem-complexities) By [Telna](https://blog.futuremobile.live/author/telna) on Jun 24, 2020 2:52:00 PM [![](https://blog.futuremobile.live/hubfs/2020.07.06-Telna-Article.jpg) ](https://blog.futuremobile.live/accelerating-cellular-iot-and-solving-ecosystem-complexities) This article highlights that Covid-19 has driven the business case for accelerated cellular IoT, while examining how programable SIMs and new approaches to connectivity solve many of the ecosystem complexities prevalent today: ###### Topics: [eSIM](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/esim) [Global Connectivity](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/global-connectivity) [IoT](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/iot) [News](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/news) [COVID-19](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/covid-19) [Connectivity](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/connectivity) [instant iot](https://blog.futuremobile.live/topic/instant-iot) ###### 4 min read ## [Reducing Complexity with Cellular IoT](https://blog.futuremobile.live/reducing-complexity-with-cellular-iot) By [Gregory Gundelfinger](https://blog.futuremobile.live/author/gregory-gundelfinger) on May 21, 2020 2:52:00 PM [![](https://blog.futuremobile.live/hubfs/Telna%20Emails%20Marketing/2020.06.01-Telna-News-reducing.jpg) ](https://blog.futuremobile.live/reducing-complexity-with-cellular-iot) Covid-19 has clearly marked an inflection point for cellular IoT.
