In IoT deployments, everything revolves around scale, manageability, and flexibility. Especially when devices are deployed globally and remain operational for years. In these environments, eSIM technology plays a key role. One of the first standards that enabled remote SIM provisioning for machine to machine environments is SGP 02. Although newer standards have been introduced, this one is still widely used in existing IoT deployments.
Europe is a large and advanced market for IoT communications. Western Europe is one of the most mature regions with 20 to 60 million connected devices in each of the largest countries. Central and Eastern Europe still has great growth opportunities when it comes to the adoption of IoT, and there are significantly fewer players developing international IoT solutions for the global market. The Russian market has started to rise in recent years but is now facing uncertainty due to war and sanctions. Mobile operators in Europe had deployed 311.3 million mobile IoT connections in or out of the region by the end of 2022.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight communication protocol designed specifically for exchanging messages between devices in IoT environments. The protocol is optimized for situations with limited bandwidth, unstable networks, and devices with low processing power.
Within IoT and connectivity, MQTT is one of the most widely used protocols for reliable and efficient data exchange.
Back in the days, a fixed telephone line was often used. Today, many speaking and listening connections are no longer made via fixed telephone lines, but via an M2M simcard with internet and speech access. Mobile internet connections are easy to set up, are now reliable and also very affordable. Subscription costs for a fixed telephone line expire and an M2M simcard is sufficient.
IoT connectivity ensures that your installations, devices and sensors communicate via your own mobile internet access. We use the M2M, LTE M and NB-IOT connectivity forms to achieve this. With our portfolio of IoT connectivity options, Thingsdata offers the right mobile data solution for every application. How do you choose the most suitable IoT connectivity solution for your specific application? In this article we explain which choices can be made.
The cabinet announced in May 2022 that a hybrid heat pump will become the standard for heating homes from 2026. Together with installers and suppliers of heat pumps, the government wants to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. According to government figures, a heat pump saves 60 percent on natural gas consumption. In order to make this transition as smooth as possible, the government offers a subsidy amounting to 30 percent of the purchase price of a heat pump. Because of this transition, Thingsdata has created a plug & play solution to support all installers.
Tele-2 IOT further expands its new 5G roaming portfolio. After all, 5G networks are being rolled out in more and more countries, not only in Europe but also beyond. 5G is the successor to 4G and it will not only improve the way we connect, it will also bring major benefits for IoT applications. The way we connect and control installations, devices and sensors.
Compared to previous generations, 5G not only offers higher speeds and more capacity, but there is also much less delay between sending and receiving data (latency). This means that, in addition to smartphones, vehicles, robots and other smart devices can also use 5G.
When we talk to customers about IoT business cases, we always get a lot of questions about connectivity, with one of the fundamental questions: “Why can’t I just go to my local store, buy some simcards and deploy them in my ‘devices’? It is cheaper compared to what you offer! “
It is a good question and a natural one if you are new to the IoT landscape (M2M, LTE M, NB-IOT, LoRa). This question rarely comes from customers who have deployed thousands of devices and have an organizational structure that requires control and oversight. So let’s clarify.
