IoT - what's it all about!



Businesses are connecting everything you can think of to the internet - cars, vending machines, white goods, cameras, wind turbines and even cattle.



Rather than thinking about IoT as just a way to connect ‘everything to everything’, you need to consider the value this technology can add to your business by supply.

No business can afford to be complacent about the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.   This innovative technology is creating new opportunities for businesses to push the boundaries and deliver new, disruptive services ahead of your rivals.

Many of you will know M2M, or Machine to Machine to give it its full title, but in recent years, it’s no longer just about machines talking to machines.  It’s now about almost everything on the planet being connected, via the Internet of Things.  And as many of these connected ‘Things’ are in a mobile environment, they require Mobile SIM’s to complete the connectivity process.

IoT isn’t just the next big thing, it’s set to see massive growth with an additional 20 billion SIM’s being connected over the next 5 years.  That’s an 1800% growth rate on where we are today.



So what’s driving the growth?  What are these ‘Connected Things’?  Well the simple answer is that companies are connecting literally everything to the internet and they’re doing this in order to obtain more date and drive a more accurate and timely decision-making process.
