More and more organizations are becoming concerned about the upcoming phase-out of 2G and 3G networks worldwide. In this article, we summarize the Network Sunset updates, including changes and additions from recent months.

When deploying IoT solutions, situations often arise where multiple IoT connectivity providers (MNOs, MVNOs) are used in parallel. This may be driven by technical requirements, commercial considerations, legacy systems, or operational strategy. In such cases, fragmented management across multiple connectivity management platforms is undesirable. A combined data pool offers a solution for these challenges.
With a combined data pool, SIM cards from different network providers (operators) share one central data bundle. This provides insight, control, and scalability—without dependency on a single network or operator (MNO or MVNO).
Met een gecombineerde datapool delen simkaarten van verschillende netwerkaanbieders (operators) dezelfde centrale databundel. Dat levert inzicht, controle en schaalbaarheid. Zonder afhankelijkheid van één netwerk of operator (MNO of MVNO).

In 2025, it became clear that industrial technology has definitively entered a new phase. AI and edge computing are no longer futuristic concepts—they’re operational reality. Thingsdata identifies five trends that are having an immediate impact on organizations working with IoT solutions, smart assets, and international connectivity.

In today’s digital age, fast, secure, and reliable connectivity between systems, partners, and cloud environments is essential. Especially for companies using colocation or hybrid IT infrastructures, traditional internet connections are often insufficient. That’s why Equinix—a global leader in data center solutions—offers powerful alternatives: Private Interconnect and Cloud Interconnect. In this article, we explain what these solutions are, their key benefits, and when to use them.

In the world of mobile telecommunications, international roaming has become second nature. We take our smartphones abroad and expect to make calls, send texts, or use the internet seamlessly—just like at home. But behind this apparent simplicity lies a complex infrastructure and global cooperation between mobile networks. A key component of this system is the IR.21 document, developed by the GSM Association (GSMA). In this article, we explain exactly what IR.21 is, how it works, and why it is so essential for cross-border mobile communication.

With the number of connected devices growing rapidly, it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage them manually and keep them up-to-date. Over-the-air (OTA) updates offer an efficient solution for this. They make it possible to roll out software and security updates remotely, without on-site intervention. The benefits of OTA for organisations with many IoT devices … Lees meer OTA updates increasingly important for IOT devices →

Thingsdata focuses on delivering reliable and secure IoT connectivity through various operators. What sets Thingsdata apart from competitors in the market is the flexibility in contractual terms across its portfolio. Thanks to these flexible conditions, organizations can benefit from high-quality IoT connectivity without long-term commitments and with maximum flexibility.

Doing business at Thingsdata is incredibly interesting. I get to work on exciting projects where I act as a consultant to deliver tailor-made solutions to our clients. The variety in requests across different applications is something I find particularly compelling.

IoT connectivity is the nervous system of the Internet of Things (IoT). It’s what allows smart devices – from thermostats to wearables and everything in between – to talk to each other and the outside world. This connection happens through networks like Wi-Fi, cellular data, or even satellites.
