“What we need to do to accelerate the IoT is streamline this process and eliminate this hidden cost for customers on how much IoT will cost them,” Pauzet said. What is really needed, he said, is simplicity. In order to come out with solutions, he said, too many disparate pieces currently need to be patched together – you have to find the right modem, the right antenna, get your device certified and approved, deal with the different MNOs who will supply connectivity, find a cloud provider, the right platform, security, and the list goes on. But, he said, the process or companies to roll out IoT solutions is currently too complex to really allow for rapid mass adoption among enterprises. And Pauzet said operators are in the process of doing what needs to be done to expand their networks with Low-Power, Wide-Area (LPWA) technology that’s geared toward the IoT. Sierra Wireless is already working with companies like Verizon and Telstra to take the IoT to the next level. According to the firm, the number of connected devices is expected to jump from an installed base of 15.4 billion in 2015 to more than 30 billion in 2020 and a massive 75.4 billion by 2025.Īlready, operators are coalescing around 3GPP’s new IoT standards and general awareness of the benefits of things like smart cities are growing.īut according to Sierra Wireless’ VP of Marketing and Market Strategy Olivier Pauzet, the key to the growth of the IoT will be simplification. Forecasts from the likes of IHS have indicted the Internet of Things is on the brink of a population explosion.
