Fifth iteration of the Communications Service Provider IoT Peer Benchmarking report from Transforma Insights examines the key themes in cellular-based IoT connectivity and identifies the market leading MNOs and MVNOs

The wireless world is on the brink of another major leap forward. As homes, enterprises, and industrial environments grapple with an unprecedented surge in connected devices — from smart sensors and autonomous machines to AR headsets and AI-driven applications — the limitations of even the most advanced Wi-Fi standards are becoming increasingly clear. Enter Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn), the next generation of wireless connectivity designed from the ground up to handle massive device density, ultra-low latency, and the data-intensive workloads of the decade ahead.

Transforma Insights recently published a new report, ‘Beyond Coverage: Building Smarter, Compliant, AI-Ready IoT Networks’ in conjunction with floLIVE, exploring the impact of seismic changes in the technical, commercial and regulatory landscape and how MNOs and MVNOs must adapt their IoT connectivity strategies to reflect that change. In this article, Matt Hatton, Founding Partner of Transforma Insights provides a summary of the key findings, and particularly how Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) must move beyond selling data to become orchestrators of intelligent, compliant, and locally optimised IoT connectivity.

New report from the world’s leading IoT analyst firm finds that MNOs and MVNOs need to optimise their approaches to addressing the IoT connectivity opportunity in the face of changing technological, regulatory and commercial dynamics, as well as the growing opportunities associated with AI.

The GSMA’s SGP.32 eSIM standard promises zero-touch, global IoT connectivity, addressing roaming and regulatory challenges. KORE highlights its flexibility and remote management capabilities, echoing the wider industry view of the new standard as a “revolution” for IoT deployments.

BeWhere Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BEW) (OTCQB: BEWFF), a leader in low-power 5G IoT asset tracking, today released highlights from its work with Speedy Transport, one of Canada's largest privately held carriers, demonstrating how BeSol+ solar-powered trackers leveraging the BeWhere Web App are redefining real-time trailer fleet management.

As mobile networks continue to evolve to meet increasing demands for low latency, high throughput and scalable infrastructure, the flexible deployment of network functions has become a key tool for enabling the required levels of service. One of the transformative technologies in this space is the Virtualised Packet Gateway, especially when offered as a service. This model combines the technical agility of virtualisation with the strategic advantages of edge deployment, enabling mobile network operators (MNOs) to deliver enhanced performance, reduce costs, and achieve greater operational efficiency.

If you don’t know about Transforma Insights, you should make it a point to connect with them. I find Jim and Matt to be well connected and to see the future pretty clearly. Their insight is a partial reason behind our expanded focus on AIoT.
