There are a huge number of IoT devices, often roaming across countries and continents, that are located outside urban areas.
This poses significant challenges to both the design and connectivity of the device, the biggest concern being that there is no room for error, as troubleshooting and maintenance of remote and roaming devices is complicated and costly.
As part of the Internet Of Things North America conference in Chicago Illinois (April 13th – 14th 2016), Podsystem Inc. CEO Sam Colley will be presenting ‘A Fresh Approach to Remote IoT Connectivity’ at 11:30 on April 14th.
Sam will address the challenges faced by remote IoT applications developers and discuss ways of overcoming them.
His presentation is centered around an infographic which outlines the main issues involved in developing remote IoT applications and explains how to make the correct choices in terms of device design, connectivity and future proofing to prolong the lifespan of the application and avoid costly mistakes.
Our infographic “A Fresh Approach to remote IoT Connectivity” has been designed to provide IoT applications developers – particularly those focused on remote, roaming and mission critical applications – with information and advice on connectivity options, device design and future-proofing to prolong the lifespan of the application and avoid costly mistakes.
Cellular Internet of Things white paperBjörn Ekelund
GSM is widely used today for millions of devices, as its costs are relatively low, but mobile broadband technologies are more expensive, may have worse coverage, and take too much power for things that may have to work for years on small batteries. Though many “things” may be connected using short range wireless, many more will be beyond the reach of systems like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Zigbee.
A group of industry players, including network and device suppliers, operators and academics, brought together by Vodafone, has been looking at the problem of supporting the “Internet of Things” for the past year and has recently published a White Paper outlining the options. These include further new features in LTE that would be defined through 3GPP; or an alternative “clean slate” cellular standard defined specifically to meet the needs of the IoT. Any future system will need to connect “things” that don’t have large amounts of data to communicate; can be in hard-to-reach locations such as manholes, meter closets, and in very isolated locations; and need to operate for years on small batteries.

Mobile spectrum and network evolution to 2025 slides coleago - 24 mar 21Coleago Consulting
A review for telecoms regulators and operators of key global developments, insights, trends, and best international practices, to inform future spectrum policy and management and operator strategies.
Mobile Network Operators need to continuously expand capacity to meet the rapid growth in mobile data consumption. Crucially, this extra capacity needs to be delivered where demand arises, including deep indoors and in areas that are covered by fewer mobile radio sites. While substantial amounts of mid-bands spectrum and high-band spectrum are becoming available, the gap in the amount between low-band (sub-1 GHz) and mid-bands is increasing.
The future of the 5G edge. 5G is an important part of the evolution of cloud-computing ecosystems towards more distributed environments, even though it is still many years away from widespread expansion. Between now and 2025, the networking industry is investing $ 5 trillion globally in 5G, supporting the rapid adoption of mobile, edge, and embedded devices in every sphere of our lives.
Wireless Infrastructure: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide,...ReportLinker.com
WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new study Wireless Infrastructure: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2013 to 2019. Next generation mission critical systems are leveraging new technology. The 2013 study has 554 pages, 245 tables and figures. Worldwide Wireless Infrastructure markets are poised to achieve significant growth as Building out core networks and backhaul for smart phones.A smart phone is not very smart if the infrastructure can't support its applications. In response to the high growth smart phone markets, wireless infrastructure promises to grow dramatically in the near term.. Wireless Infrastructure technologies include WiMax, LTE, 4G and HSPA. These technologies are driving much higher capacity from the base station back to the fiber core. Fiber core is putting extreme pressure on provider's infrastructure and backhaul networks.WinterGreen Research predicts that the dramatic growth of wireless infrastructure is based on the growth of smart phones to a one trillion market by 2019, serving an installed base of 8.5 billion, many people having more than one smart phone. Wireless infrastructure markets at $58 billion in 2012 will be $163 billion by 2019, new markets evolved because of the value that apps provide to smart phones, mobile devices, tablets, and the Internet of things.According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, 'Wireless Infrastructure is being installed to upgrade core networks and upgrade backhaul and base stations to make systems more modern. Infrastructure for the Internet and for smart mobile devices creates demand for more sophisticated web development and web applications that in turn depend on more sophisticated infrastructure. Everything is going mobile. This evolution is driven by mobile smart phones and tablets that provide universal connectivity. Modern systems represent a significant aspect of Internet market evolution.'The proportions of wireless infrastructure market industry segments are expected to remain much as they are, with the small cells and femtocells achieving strong growth on the access side, the core infrastructure must be upgraded to support the added backhaul backbone infrastructure. Wireless apps are expected to achieve $37 trillion revenue by 2019. This unbelievable growth occurs as the Internet is expanded to implement the interconnection of everything.Digital devices proliferate, machine to machine capabilities vastly expand instrumentation. The digital devices become the engine of a world economy, with apps collecting pennies a day for millions of apps from 8.5 billion people with smart phones by 2019.
To meet the new connectivity requirements of the emerging IoT segment, 3GPP has taken evolutionary steps on both the network side and the device side. A single technology or solution cannot be ideal to all the different potential IoT applications, market situations and spectrum availability. As a result, the 3GPP standardizing several technologies, including Extended Coverage GSM (EC-GSM), LTE-M and NB-IoT.
LTE-M, NB-IoT and EC-GSM are all superior solutions to meet IoT requirements as a family of solutions, and can complement each other based on technology availability, use case requirements and deployment scenarios. The evolution for these technologies is shown in figure #5. Technical studies and normative work for the support of Machine Type Communication (MTC) as part of 3GPP LTE specifications for RAN began in 3GPP Release 12 and are continuing with the goals of developing features optimized for devices with MTC traffic.

This presentation was given at the IP Gala, Cairo on 22 April 2019, an event sponsored by Huawei. It looks at the market context for the implementation of 5G, the kinds of business cases that might support it and strategic network decisions that have to be made.
The cellular IoT is a method of connecting physical devices (sensors, etc.) to the Internet, and transmits physical devices (sensors, etc.) on the same mobile network as smartphones. With its simple infrastructure and the advent of 5G, the Cellular IoT has become a strong participant in the field of connectivity.
The cellular network connects your iPhone to WeChat, Weibo, and Douyin and spreads your voice in the air. But the days of just wanting to connect with friends and family are gone.
Now you can also see the value of connecting with surrounding physical objects such as street lights, parking fee systems, hospitals that occupy everyday urban life, or myriad industrial applications (such as manufacturing and agriculture). All of these can strengthen the connection. ..
Ericsson predicts that the total number of connected IoT devices will exceed 20 billion in 2023. Specifically, the number of IoT devices connected via LTE and 5G exceeds 3.5 billion, mainly in China and Northeast Asia.
Enabling a Big Vision for 5G with Small Cells - CyientPercy-Mitchell
5G promises to transform the way we live and work, offering extremely low latency of less than 10 milliseconds coupled with ultra-high-speed broadband networks. And small cells are an indispensable component of next-generation networks
Enabling a Big Version for 5G with Small CellsPercy-Mitchell
Industry reports suggest that there will be approximately 2.5 billion 5G users by 2025, i.e., around 40% of the world’s population. To gear up for this momentous shift, communications service providers must upgrade and modernize networks and prepare them for the 5G era. Powered by small cells, Ultra Dense Networks (UDNs) will be the cornerstone of 5G networks, driving multiple 5G use cases, including smart cities, Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and more.

Allow interaction with different
types of cellular connectivity via

multi-IMSI)
Devices should include
an STK (SIM Application

design should
be compatible
with 3G and
4G modems

The modem should be compatible
with with different connectivity
options. For example, non-steered
multi-network SIMs are key
to avoiding coverage
blackspots. To keep connectivity costs
to a minimum,
session lengths must be
optimized to allow for data

Less reliability for mission
critical and real-time applications
Satellite
Breadth of coverage even
in areas with limited infrastructure
e.g. at sea or in developing
countries
Price and interference due
to weather conditions

Connectivity Options
Cellular connectivity offers
many advantages for remote,
roaming and mission critical applications
1- Global nature of cellular infrastructure
2- Defined standards for 2G, 3G, 4G
3- Multi-Network and roaming capability
4- Rapid throughput of data for real
time applications
5- Future 3GPP standards (Cat 1,
Cat M, NB-IoT) will offer optimized,
lower cost connectivity for IoT
Networks are not
currently designed
to support the
growth in traffic
forecasted for
the IoT
Networks have traditionally been designed to manage
mobile traffic from consumer devices. IoT devices put
very different demands on the network
Open connectivity requires open devices...
