Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been an enormous trend in the past few years and is expected to dominate business strategies the coming decade. IoT allows for the automation of processes, which increases productivity and reduces needed manhours. Interconnectivity between devices allows for exponential value creation due to Metcalfe’s law, as more and more solutions are made possible. There are many techniques for connecting devices to the Internet, each has differing properties and intend to solve different issues. One exciting and growing category is Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) and is generally managed by a third party. The advantages of such a solution are nationwide coverage, high device capacity and good separation of concern. These advantages create an environment in which it is easy to deploy numerous devices, with a low investment cost for the consumer.
