IoT coverage embracing a worldwide scope is becoming tangible reality
In a recent report, Transforma Insights and Semtech have outlined the benefits of integrating cellular, satellite, and LoRaWAN technologies in enterprise IoT strategies. This approach offers several key advantages, including seamless global coverage, operational simplicity, and cost efficiencies.
The report explains that by combining these connectivity technologies, enterprises can overcome limitations of individual networks, such as coverage blind spots in cellular or LoRaWAN, and extend connectivity even to remote or hard-to-reach locations via satellite. This unified connectivity approach fosters a simplified technology stack by converging cellular, satellite, and LoRaWAN connectivity and cloud services, leading to operational efficiencies and easing device lifecycle management.
Semtech's recent acquisition of Sierra Wireless underscores the strategic move towards network convergence and simplification in IoT connectivity. The acquisition is expected to further enhance the integrated connectivity solutions offered by Semtech.
The report provides actionable guidance for global product deployment and device management, making it easier for enterprises to implement and manage their IoT strategies on a large scale. Leading enterprises are already adopting these integrated connectivity solutions for their IoT strategies, as they offer truly global and resilient IoT connectivity, operational simplicity with a centralized management platform, lower complexity, and cost efficiencies.
While the report does not present any new vision for the future of IoT, it focuses on integrated connectivity solutions as a means to redefine IoT connectivity. Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and LoRaWAN are identified as key components in this redefinition. However, the report does not discuss any new aspects of the future impact of NTN on IoT connectivity.
Semtech offers insights into the report on ubiquitous IoT strategies, with a theme of convergence and simplification. The report by Transforma Insights provides expert analysis on IoT strategies and the future of IoT connectivity. Despite not offering any new expert analysis, the report presents a vision for the future of IoT, focusing on integrated connectivity solutions.
In conclusion, the integrated approach to IoT connectivity delivers enterprises truly global and resilient IoT connectivity, operational simplicity with a centralized management platform, lower complexity, and cost efficiencies, facilitating large-scale and global IoT deployments that none of the individual connectivity technologies could achieve alone.
Semtech's recent acquisition of Sierra Wireless reinforces the trend of network convergence and simplification in data-and-cloud-computing-based IoT connectivity, as it is expected to further extend the integrated connectivity solutions offered by Semtech.
The report by Transforma Insights emphasizes the importance of integrated connectivity solutions, such as those combining cellular, satellite, and LoRaWAN technologies, in redefining IoT connectivity. This approach promotes technological efficiency and simplifies device lifecycle management.
