Security and Design are the biggest knots to untangle, according to the largest-ever IoT connectivity survey run by Kaleido Intelligence

June 10, 2022

Kaleido Intelligence, a leading connectivity market intelligence and consulting firm, has published the largest-ever survey of IoT connectivity. floLIVE, a leading IoT connectivity provider of advanced 5G network solutions and a full suite of global cellular connectivity services for IoT use cases, both privately and over the cloud, was one of the key industry experts that provided support for the survey commissioned by Kaleido Intelligence.

Over 750 IoT professionals participated in the survey that explored the most important factors for IoT connectivity firms to provide, as well as identifying pain points for both those currently deploying IoT and those looking into it for the future. Topics covered in the survey included how IoT projects are managed, what the biggest concerns are, and what is required from IoT service providers. It was also crucial to examine the drivers for adoption of a range of promising technologies, such as eSIM and Private 5G Networks.

Research highlights:

  • Cellular IoT deployments continue to be issues of concern for businesses, with persistent concerns about security and service availability continuing to plague the space.
  • End-to-end security ranked a #1 concern by both current and future IoT deployers.
  • Respondents found it highly important to keep multinational solutions safe from permanent roaming restrictions.
  • Almost all respondents expected connectivity providers to offer some form of security, with over half wanting advanced options, such as IP restrictions, traffic burst detection, unconfigured ports and more.
  • Hardware design and support is seen as the biggest challenge by non-adopters of the technology.
  • Vertical-specific solutions are increasingly expected.


 "We are pleased to be one of the industry experts supporting Kaleido Intelligence with this important piece of research. We are excited that our unique offering of a private network that intelligently combines private and public network access and seamless handoff resonates well with enterprise customers who appreciate that the new age of Private 5G networks must extend beyond the campuses and blend into a global connectivity service."

Asaf Gigi, VP Marketing, floLIVE 

Steffen Sorrell, Research Lead at Kaleido Intelligence added, "Connectivity forms a fundamental building block towards generating value for IoT but is often the source of projects failing to scale adequately. This survey aims to uncover what the main connectivity pain points experienced by enterprises are, and how a combination of industry expertise and education can help enterprise customers focus on maximising the value of their IoT data."

The survey findings will be presented and discussed in detail at a webinar discussion on 9th June, presented by Kaleido Intelligence and a range of industry leaders, including FloLIVE, Eseye, iBASIS, KORE Wireless and Truphone.

Chinese IoT Vendors Face Scrutiny Amid India's Security Concerns

December 23, 2024

The dominance of Chinese IoT vendors in India's market has raised security concerns due to data privacy risks, foreign surveillance threats, and India's dependence on low-cost solutions from Chinese firms. In India, where, on the one hand, digitalization is rapidly growing, IoT devices are being used in everything from smart homes to critical infrastructure. 

Industries are integrating industrial equipment with IoT to become technically robust so that real-time monitoring of equipment can be done and they can be controlled as per the requirements. There was a time when Chinese smartphones covered the Indian market, and today, IoT devices are moving on the same path. The biggest reason for this is their market penetration strategy. They reach their target audience with devices at a very low price, which are much more affordable for the audience. Apart from this, there are some other reasons too, let’s check them out. As we just discussed, Chinese vendors always work on cost-efficiency. Be it smartphones or IoT devices. Chinese companies work on two factors: one is mass production, and the second is operational efficiency. This makes it very beneficial for them to manufacture IoT devices. Their manufacturing cost is extremely low compared to their Western counterparts, making selling them at lower prices easier.

5G Capabilities to Have Limited Impact on IoT Connectivity Revenue

December 17, 2024

Transforma Insights reveals that 5G capabilities will dominate IoT connectivity revenues by 2040 but primarily due to future-proofing, with minimal uplift from advanced 5G SA functionalities. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have invested significant sums in upgrading to 5G. In increasing numbers they are also making the further step up to upgrading to a 5G Standalone (5G SA) core network. Much of the promise of 5G comes from the latter, giving MNOs the potential to deliver richer features and functionality including real-time latency, improved reliability, and ‘Quality on Demand’ type features. The combination of Network Exposure Function (NEF) and APIs also offers the potential to monetise 5G’s promise of the programmable network.

In this 46-page report ‘Monetisation of public 5G networks through IoT’, Transforma Insights explores the likely true revenue potential for MNOs by applying the additional capabilities of 5G (and particularly 5G SA) to the Internet of Things.

The report starts with analysis of the key elements of 3GPP Releases 15 to 19 that relate to 5G and IoT. The includes the key functions of 5G New Radio in the form of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC). It also considers features such as network slicing, 5G RedCap, Cellular-V2X, Non-Terrestrial Networks, Network Exposure Function, APIs, edge computing, and much more. Under each sub-section the report considers how the features and functionality could be applied to IoT.

Andrea Lechner-BeckerChief Marketing OfficerLeadMDAndrea Lechner-Becker, Chief Marketing Officer at LeadMD is an experienced Marketing and Sales Executive with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing and advertising industry.

Skilled in Business Process, Marketo, Sales, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and IT Service Management, Andrea is also a strong business development professional and a storyteller.

MEDIA 7: What inspired you to get into marketing?
ANDREA LECHNER: 
Frankly, not having better options. I originally attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse thinking I’d major in Archaeology. I wanted to be Indiana Jones! But, after visiting the archaeology building – i.e. the cold, dark basement of the science building – where a girl sat to piece together pieces of an old Native American vase, I knew archaeology was not going to be the right path for me. And so, without being good at science and a major in art or art history was unlikely to pay my bills, I decided to go into “business”. I originally registered as a management major, but took my first marketing class and thought it was more interesting and switched my sophomore year. That was pretty much it. I’d never been involved in business classes or DECA in high school – I didn’t really know what to do or what jobs in marketing were even possible. I dumb lucked myself into it really.

M7: As a storyteller, do you relate the brand to a story or story to the brand?
AL:
Both? Neither? I think there are stories in every brand, because there are people working on the brand and people engaging with the brand and people using what the brand creates. People, most often a single person, are at the heart of great stories.
You can start with the “point” of the story you’re trying to tell. Say you have a software that help accountants better create reports for board meetings. It’s likely you’ll want to tell a success story about an accountant getting promoted to CFO in part because your software helped better communicate their work product to the board. You could have the idea for that and go looking for that story in your customers. OR, you could hear that story, and say, “That’s amazing!” and share it with customers, partners and internal people. Stories are all around us – the most important thing is to keep your ears and eyes open for finding them.

Ed BreaultChief Marketing OfficerAprimoEd Breault, Chief Marketing Officer at Aprimo is a marketer with over 18 years of industry experience. At Aprimo, Ed is responsible for the global brand and growth which includes all Paid/Owned/Earned media, Brand Experience, Product Marketing, Industry Marketing, Influencer Marketing, Strategic Communications, Content Marketing, Analyst Relations, Alliance Marketing, Public Relations, Events, Demand Generation and Account-Based Marketing.

MEDIA 7: What’s your superpower?
ED BREAULT:
 I would say it’s applying the full spectrum of art and science that is required in marketing today. Not just left or right brained, but whole-brained strategy. Being human yet data-driven and really understanding numbers and (the right) metrics to make connections to business drivers. Add storytelling to that, so I can effectively communicate to my team, the CEO and CFO as well as my Board of Directors on those metrics, and connecting all that we are doing in marketing to the mission of the business. Then quickly shifting gears to the art and creative aspects of marketing that are required to engage an audience and tell great commercial stories that take complex concepts and craft them in a way that is interesting for people to pay attention to. I have to be the ultimate point of truth for the brand.

M7: At Aprimo, how have marketing leadership roles and responsibilities evolved over the past few years?
EB:
There are so many dimensions needed by marketing leaders today. There are several elements driving this evolution, it’s the new experience battlefront that is emerging and also marketers themselves driving changes. From a market perspective, there is a clear appetite for disruption and consumers are wanting more experiential elements to their buying experience and interactions with brands. Take a few direct to consumer disruptions like trialing products in-home, purchasing directly from a brand or even wanting to ensure that the producer’s trade practices are in line with the buyer’s or even a regulator’s for that matter. Then we want to try before we buy, and we emotionally care about the supply chain of products. Do we TRUST this brand to do business with them? Behind all of this is a story that needs to be told, and it is those marketers who know their audience well and make connections that will win the commercial game.

Back to the marketer, there are so many diverse backgrounds that marketers bring now and I’m really intrigued by those who have unconventional backgrounds because they contribute something uniquely new to the field. I love hearing about the marketer’s journey.
