The provision of cellular-based IoT connectivity is entering a new phase, evolving from a model centred on global roaming and best-effort coverage to one that prioritises performance, compliance, and technological diversity. This transformation is driven by technological advancements, regulatory changes, and the growing integration of AI into IoT ecosystems.
This Position Paper examines key changes occurring in the provision of cellular-based IoT connectivity, including the growing demand for data to feed AI, the changing regulatory landscape, and evolving technology, including eSIM, network technology fragmentation, and the evolving platform landscape.
It goes on to explore the impact these changes will have on the landscape for IoT connectivity provision, and how MNOs and MVNOs should adapt their strategies to address the opportunity.
