This report examines the reasons for the surging demand for cloud connectors, most notably the growing adoption of constrained IoT connectivity, and the functionality that the connectors deliver. It also examines the approach taken by some of the leading providers of this functionality, including connectivity providers, IoT platform vendors and vendors of device management solutions. It also examines the commercial angle, including considerations of the expected demand for such capabilities, the positioning of this functionality and the competitive landscape.

          IoT SIM Applet For secure End-to-end communication (IoT SAFE) has been developed by the GSM Association to allow for the use of the SIM card as a standardised hardware ‘Root of Trust’. In this report we examine how IoT SAFE works, the benefits that arise from using it, and its limitations. In so doing, we explore what the likely prognosis is for adoption and success of this emerging new technology.
