The world’s leading Internet of Things analyst firm presents the results of its annual CSP IoT Peer Benchmarking research analysing the capabilities and strategies of the leading MNOs and MVNOs in IoT.
Every year Transforma Insights publishes its CSP IoT Peer Benchmarking report, a key part of our Advisory Service research. The report analyses the capabilities and strategies of leading MNOs and MVNOs in IoT, identifying the key developments and appraising the strategies of those leading players. Based on the research delivered a webinar on the 25th November which examined the key trends affecting cellular-based IoT connectivity.
Matt Hatton, Founding Partner of Transforma Insights examined all aspects of the evolving technical, commercial and regulatory landscape for the delivery of cellular-based IoT connectivity. Topics addressed included:
Perspectives on SGP.32. The arrival of the new remote SIM provisioning technology looms large of the IoT connectivity landscape and accounts for several of the key themes noted in the report. The webinar examines the approach of different players and the impact the technology is expected to have.
Evolving middleware. From the arrival of the single-pane-of-glass (SPOG) to ongoing debates about the economics of running in-house vs third-party connectivity management platforms, as well as additional middleware layers.
Network technology fragmentation. The network landscape has never been more fragmented with 2G/3G switch-off, 4G switch-off looming, 5G (and particularly 5G SA) rollouts patchy, and new arrivals in the form of NTN and RedCap. We consider what the prognosis is for these various technologies and the impact of the fragmentation.
Heading off price erosion through new services. Price erosion is a perennial issue for IoT connectivity and MNOs/MVNOs continue to pursue new opportunities for revenue growth, including channels, value-added services, professional services, full-stack solutions, video analytics, and diversifying out of IoT altogether.
The increasing use of AI. Whether it be for customer care and interaction, anomaly detection, or process automation, the use of artificial intelligence has come on notably in the last year. Is it a differentiator?
And much more.
The webinar provides substantial insights into the changing dynamics of cellular-based IoT connectivity and the approaches that the leading MNOs and MVNOs are taking. It is essential viewing for any enterprise looking to procure cellular-based IoT connectivity, any MNO/MVNO wanting to understand its position in the market, and the rest of the IoT ecosystem seeking to understand the key trends that are shaping the space.
The content of the webinar is based on the Communications Service Provider IoT Peer Benchmarking Report 2025.
