Telecom is playing a crucial role in enabling the growth of Internet of Things (IoT) across industries.
IoT devices wouldn’t work without a robust network and telecom infrastructure.
5G networks have opened new avenues that were previously impossible, such as remote surgery in real-time.
Telecom operators are launching purpose-built IoT networks like Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) for devices that need very little power and send small amounts of data.
Telecom is the backbone of connectivity, enabling scalability and driving industry-specific innovations.
The demands for IoT vary from industry to industry, and telecom companies are tailoring solutions to address these unique needs.
Telcos are helping to build smart cities, enable remote monitoring of patients in healthcare, and facilitate predictive maintenance in the industrial sector.
Telecom providers are addressing the challenges of security concerns, standardization and compatibility issues, using higher levels of security protocols, AI for detection and neutralization of threats, and collaborating globally for standard set of protocols.
Telecom providers are continuously innovating with technologies like 6G and satellite internet services such as Starlink to keep pace with the growing power and complexities of intelligent ecosystems.
As IoT continues to be adopted at breakneck speed across various industries, the IoT and telecom relationship will only become more and more symbiotic.
