Players across the spectrum continue to make small but important gains as technologies improve and business models become clearer. Thus, the question now becomes: Where will the IoT industry go from here? How might players in the market move from initial, showcase deployments to widespread adoption? Download Now!

Managing the communication needs of IoT devices is a work in progress. There are a number of short-range and long-range wireless network protocols — Bluetooth, BLE, Zigbee and LoRaWAN, to name a few—that have their place but also have limitations, especially when it comes to massive IoT support and long-range, mobile use cases. On the other hand, cellular networks are striving to evolve next-generation networks that provide the infrastructure to support higher bandwidth and lower latency. This will make them best suited for mission-critical, data-intensive and time-sensitive applications but inefficient for massive IoT applications that require lower bandwidths, lower data rates and reduced transmit power.
