The Importance of IoT Platforms Through the Eyes of an MVNO

Image
IoT has a massive scope and too many requirements that can leave even the best of telecom operators clueless. With exalted predictions in the near future (some estimate that IoT devices will cross the 40 billion mark by 2025), the pressure on IoT service providers is immense. There is a  need to automate the management  of connected devices and sensors, which is why a comprehensive IoT platform has become the need of the hour. Classification of IoT Platforms IoT platforms can be divided into the following categories: End to end platform Connectivity platform Cloud platform Data platform Every single one of these platforms plays a huge role in the overall functioning of sensors and devices that form the entire IoT universe. An IoT platform serves as a middleware that connects devices/sensors. It contains an assortment of functions such as controllers and sensors, a communication network, a gateway device, translating and data analysis software alon...

5 Emerging Trends That Will Reshape the IoT Platform for Good

Image
An IoT platform creates a congenial environment for the appropriate operations of IoT sensors and devices. Right now, IoT outreach is limited due to a number of reasons. Companies are still apprehensive about the success of IoT as a mass technology and hence, they are holding back on their in-house R&D departments. But, the turn of the decade brings fresh hopes and we are likely to  see great innovations  within this field in the coming years. 5 Top Trends for IoT in 2020 Artificial Intelligence (AI) & IoT: A Symbiotic Relationship AI has become the mainstay of businesses across the globe.

Important Requirements of an IoT Platform While the above-mentioned scenario, in all of its totality, may seem like a distant dream, but we are seeing certain elements come together at the time of writing of this answer. We are at a juncture where telcos have understood the potential of the IoT platform and are doing their best to fulfill the most essential requirements. Have a look at some of the important requirements of a potent IoT platform that can leverage the IoT tech: 1. Tracking and reporting of IoT transactions   IoT devices are expected to generate multiple zettabytes of data that needs to be tracked and reported. Without reliable tracking and reporting, it would be hard for telcos to monetize IoT services, especially in these times where Gen Y does not want to spend a penny extra for their usage of data. Therefore, it is essential for an IoT connectivity provider to have high-powered resources and a centralized OCS that charges all transactions in real-ti...

5 New-Age Convergent Charging and Billing Support System Requirements

Image
Not so long ago, the success of telecom operators hinged upon their proficiency in delivering core network services. Business and operation support systems were useful but they were not as critical as they are today. This was due to the non-complex nature of telecom services, primarily call and SMS, which filled the monochromatic spectrum of telecom service delivery. However, with the evolution of new technologies like IoT and 5G, the telecom landscape has changed considerably. In the present, there are many services that need to be monetized, charged, rated and billed; and hence, the operational, business and Billing Support Systems are stretched to the limit. Exigent Modern-Day Requirements Telecom services subscribers of today are more finicky than ever. They have too many options to pick and choose from because of a rise in the number of telecom services providers in the form of MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators). Also, non-telecom OTT services provider are eating ...
