Cellular IoT

A new report by connectivity experts Kaleido Intelligence has found that cellular smart manufacturing deployments will grow to over 150 million connections, almost trebling 2023 deployments.

A new study by Juniper Research has found the global number of cellular IoT devices will increase from 3.4 billion in 2024 to 6.5 billion by 2028. However, the study predicts this 90% growth in connections will require the deployment of new services enabling the efficient automation of IoT device management and security.

The IoT market is set for continued robust growth up to 2030, writes Robin Duke-Woolley, the chief executive of Beecham Research. According to Statista, almost 30 billion IoT devices are expected to be connected by 2030, up from nearly ten billion in 2020 – a CAGR of nearly 12% over the decade. This includes both

5G RedCap is poised to become the dominant technology brand for cellular IoT but not until commercial devices are widely available from 2026 onwards. This growth will be at the expense of 2G as that approaches its sunset in various markets, and the various 4G IoT protocols will still account for the majority of connections

TEAL, the first US-based eSIM platform to be certified by the GSMA, is partnering with Kigen to make available a version of the Kigen eSIM operating system (OS) with SGP.32-ready features, preloaded with TEAL’s in-house SGP.32 cloud platforms (eIM, SM-DS). The partnership supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and machine-to-machine (M2M) customers that will soon transition

Technosphere, a division of P Alert Industries, an India-based product engineering services organisation, has developed a preventive solution enabling property managers and landlords to detect the presence of methamphetamine inside buildings. The P Alert Meth Alarm uses a Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP) to send alerts and reports to a cloud platform. The P Alert

Tele2 AB (Tele2) has entered into an agreement with Drifter World – a company that uses AI to optimise the use of parking spaces and electric vehicle charging stations. Tele2 delivers a cellular Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity solution that maximises uptime and gives the company full control over its fleet of devices. 

At various times over recent years it has confidently been predicted that cellular IoT connectivity would become a low cost commodity. Yet the greater diversity of connectivity needs for different types of IoT application has ensured that this is now further away than ever. Instead there is an increasing need for customisation, with high level

Nordic Semiconductor announces its end-to-end cellular IoT solution with support for DECT NR+ (“NR+”). Comprising new products based on the and proven nRF91 Series systems-in-package (SiPs), Nordic’s new cellular IoT offering brings simplicity, stability, and cost efficiency through chipsets, modules, software, and services designed, controlled, and supplied by Nordic.

Sitting behind cellular communications infrastructure is a vast library of complex technology common, industry-specific engineering standards and specifications. Stakeholder organisations invest extensive effort and engineering resources on an ongoing basis to maintain and progress these. Products and services can thus be improved, creating opportunities to explore new use cases that will enable additional revenue streams.

Blues Wireless, has announced a $32 million (€29.76 million) Series A1 funding round led by Positive Sum, and including new investors Four Rivers, Northgate, and Qualcomm. Previous backers Sequoia, Cascade, Lachy Groom and XYZ also participated.

27 September 2022 – Particle, the integrated IoT Platform-as-a-Service, has announced the launch of its new B Series hardware solutions to help companies move from prototype to production as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. The expansion follows the launch of Particle’s Supply Secure hardware portfolio, a new proactive program that updates and replaces legacy hardware

The recent pandemic has transformed many companies’ attitudes towards IoT and cellular technology is at the forefront of future growth expectations. Addressing that demand is not a simple process given the complexity of the ecosystem, how cellular networks and suitable coverage are rolled out, and how end-to-end security of networks and devices is achieved. Cyril

E-bike and e-scooter fleets have stormed from city to city in just two years, redefining urban mobility and addressing some of the most vexing transportation challenges in cities congestion, emissions, air quality, and inconsistent access to transit. Research shows the sustainability benefits clearly: if the share for e-bike riding rises to 11%, we could see

London, 13 July 2022 – New research from roaming analyst firm Kaleido Intelligence forecasts that total retail and wholesale roaming revenues from consumer and IoT mobile connections will exceed pre-COVID levels in 2023, reaching $30 billion (€29.81 billion) in value.

We can all agree that the Internet of Things (IoT) is a tremendous opportunity for mobile network operators (MNOs). For many, IoT is also a necessity to achieve return-on-investment (ROI) on the future and current spending on 5G.
