IoT Technology and Market Development Update: There is a Strong Belief that M2M Solutions will Represent a Key Area for MNOs in the Future - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "IoT Technology and Market Development Update" report to their offering.

IoT investment by major operators demonstrates that there is a strong belief that M2M solutions will represent a key area for MNOs in the future. The transition from being an interesting adjunct to mainstream services to being a strategic area in its own right is taking place now.

Operators need to establish their strategy for this area to avoid being left as a second tier connectivity provider, with the limited revenues and margins that follow from that positioning.

Infrastructure development, including dedicated network, devices and software (including APIs) and partnerships should be identified and secured as soon as possible to achieve maximum return from the area.

This report looks at what has happened to some of the early players and their solutions since the middle of 2015 (when we last reported on them) and explores the updated srategies that have arisen from real experiences. It concludes with recommendations based on those experiences that should be considered by any MNO wishing to explore or update its own IoT position.
