How IoT can impact on telecom industry?

As one of the most sophisticated industries with access to the modern connectivity the infrastructures & industrial talent, IoT in telecom has been the forefront of the Internet of Things modernism. Though, there still remain challenges stemming from the sheer scale of IoT global connectivity use cases for Telecom, like overcoming the risk of overstretching resources & ensuring consistent quality of service.

The introduction of the internet of things in telecommunications is set to alter the role of telecom service providers for enabling communication between people & devices. Thus, business leaders have to innovate the new IoT-enabled services for customers & applications for enhancing their business procedures. Moreover, business leaders can also implement innovative business models such as SaaS, BaaS, and PaaS to use eSIM IoT effectively. With this intelligent connectivity approach, telecom businesses can choose which applications are beneficial for their organizations.

Data analytics

By using IoT in telecom sectors, business leaders can obtain large amount of important data. Various telecom companies can expand information pools with the data collected by IoT sensors. Telecom industries can use acquired data which helps to generate analytics and gain crucial business insights. By joining IoT data with big data analytics, the telecom industry builds predictive models that can help them to forecast upcoming trends in telecom.

Low power WAN

The Telecom industry can facilitate energy-efficient machine-to-machine communication with IoT. Usually, telecom companies use GSM & WiFi for machine-to-machine communication. All such network technologies can have high bandwidth & power requirements. Thus, telecom companies can use the radio-based and less power-consuming wide-area networks which are recognized as low power WAN. Telecom industries can provide low power WAN in the IoT devices for a variety of applications. For instance, IoT sensors are interconnected in the farms for elegant agriculture by using the low power WAN. Correspondingly, IoT sensors are also used in parking systems with low power WAN. Also, telecom industries can develop IoT based products & services which help to generate new revenue streams in IoT market.

Autonomous vehicles

Telecom & smartphone industries are searching for the potential of the LTE infrastructure by producing LTE-V. LTE-V is used in autonomous cars for the machine-to-machine partnership. LTE-V networks can help an independent car communicate with other autonomous cars. For example, if the self-driving car wants to take a detour, it can inform other cars in its vicinity. With this approach, self-driving cars can also communicate with the road infrastructure. In addition, IoT devices with LTE-V can also help in the development of applications like hazardous intersection warnings, emergency braking notifications, & forward collision alerts.

Before adopting the IoT in telecom industries, business leaders must develop an effective strategy. For this purpose, business leaders must understand which new type of data IoT will generate. In case the existing infrastructure is mismatched, telecom industries might need to reform their infrastructure. Also, businesses need to increase data security to protect important data from hackers. Business leaders can use blockchain to make IoT safer. Telecom businesses can use IoT management platforms by AirLinq to establish the global footprint in a cost-effective manner.
