Vodafone Business has built a scalable IoT product offering; supporting device management, LPWA (Low Power Wide Access) network services and mobile private networks. Juniper Research commended Vodafone for its ‘Application-as-a-Service’ model which will drive IoT roaming service adoption amongst SMEs by lowering the barriers to entry.
Advanced Analytics Capabilities Key to Distinguishing Leading Vendors
The research found harnessing AI to detect permanent roaming connections is key to distinguishing services of leading vendors from their competitors. By enabling accurate identification of permanent roaming IoT connections, vendors will support operators in monetisation of these devices. Operators must move away from the use of punitive measures and adopt a monetisation mindset; drawing parallels with grey route mobile messaging traffic reduction.
