IoT: The Modern Phenomenon in the Telecom Industry
by John Martine AuthorIoT has already become a major phenomenon in
today’s fast-paced world. It has been used in a number of industries to make
processes simpler than ever before. From agriculture (drones and smart farming)
to automobiles (telematics) to manufacturing (temperature sensors in storage
units), IoT has improved industrial operations considerably. Moreover, it has
also been used in daily life by people for making mundane tasks easier than
before. For example, now you can turn your air conditioning on before even
reaching your house or you can preheat your food in the microwave before you
arrive for your dinner, all thanks to IoT. Such valuable applications of IoT
make it the platform for the future and you need to be ready for it by
partnering it with an accomplished IoT
connectivity provider.
Brace up to
the IoT Storm by Partnering with the RIGHT IoT Connectivity Provider
The telecom world is evolving at a rapid pace
due to the inception of new technologies that are disrupting the industry from
time to time. Be it the launch of 4G or the inception of OTT (over the top)
services like Skype and Netflix, the way telcos operate keeps on changing based
on the technology in prominence. According to a survey, IoT (Internet of
Things) and m2m connectivity is
expected to be the next best thing in the telecom world after the launch of 5G.
The low latency connection offered by 5G connection is expected to improve the
quality of m2m connectivity, which is
sure to raise the stock of IoT in the coming years.
How to Make
the Most of IoT Juggernaut?
All indications point to the fact that IoT
will be a thing to be reckoned with in the future. Just like other preceding
transformative technologies, IoT is expected to disrupt the whole operation
structure of the telecom world. However, harnessing all the advantages provided
by IoT is not a simple task. To make most of what IoT has to offer, you need to
be ready with:
1.
IoT-specific
hardware and software – For IoT devices to run correctly, you require connectivity
equipment like batteries, antennas, sensors and units with SIM cards. Also, you
would need software applications like monitoring applications, telematics
software etc. to get different niche-oriented IoT tasks performed as per
expectation.
2.
Solutions
that can track IoT transactions– Effective dispersal of IoT solutions
require a telecom operator to keep track of large amount of IoT-related
transactions. This is no mean feat, especially for an amateur in the IoT world.
Hence, it is best to partner with an IoT
connectivity provider that has the capability to track transactions.
3.
Solutions
that can perform IoT billing – Just like tracking IoT transactions is a a complex task, the same way billing IoT transactions can be a confusing task for
any telecom vendor. Therefore, a partnership with an IoT
connectivity provider is highly recommended.
4.
IoT service
management
– Self-help portals are in vogue these days and can be used for managing
different types of IoT services. Associating with comprehensive IoT services
provider like Vcare is highly recommended for the creation of a self-care
portal.
