Why IoT system integrators are important for mobile network operators
The term Internet of Things has evolved to encompass a very broad range of services and solutions; we are now at the point where the word ‘connectivity’ is almost synonymous with the goals of IoT. 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.

The Future of IoT Deployments in a Post-COVID-19 World
With over 14 million cases globally, COVID-19 has caused significant disruption, including delays to the physical rollouts and maintenance of IoT devices and networks owing to travel restrictions and lockdown measures in various countries.
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.

5G and the Internet of Things
5G and the Internet of Things
The IoT, or Internet of Things, has developed to encompass a multitude of use cases for the enterprise, industrial and consumer spaces. In the enterprise and industrial spaces; strategic decisions now incorporate the inclusion of IoT services and connectivity, which has been driven in no small part by the emergence of IoT specialists.
The consumer space has also been significantly disrupted during the past five years. D eclining costs of wireless networks an d innovation in technology, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, mean that an increasing number of previously ‘ d u mb’ d evices are being connecte d to the Internet or a private network.
