Operators are broadening their horizons and enabling the IoT to flourish

Mobile is already at the heart of the IoT, writes Graham Trickey, the head of the Connected Living programme at the GSMA. Each new device we connect to our own network, be it a home appliance, smart watch or thermostat, can be controlled by a smartphone. Put simply, mobile is the hub for which all other consumer-based connected devices depend on. (more…)

A RADICAL SLANT ON M2M CONNECTIVITY

M2MAPPS: Sigfox has employed license-free spectrum to create a cellular network that is dedicated to M2M and the IoT. The obvious question is why? What is wrong with cellular technology?

THOMAS NICHOLLS: I’d like to start with a reminder that M2M and IoT applications come in numerous sizes and shapes. Those that need relatively high data rates work well with existing connectivity technologies, but many others only need to exchange small messages every so often. (more…)
