Modules, Connectivity
The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape continues to progress as:
- Regional networks sunset
- Standards shift
- Use cases grow
As IoT evolves, selecting the right connectivity option has become a complex decision for product and solution teams. They must adapt to shifting conditions to keep deployments reliable and future-proof.
Network Sunsets
Despite the widespread shutdown of 2G and 3G networks, global requirements for these technologies still affect both new and legacy deployments.
Devices with long life cycles may have been deployed with 2G or 3G. IoT solutions in remote areas or those that use international roaming often rely on these networks as a fallback.
Businesses that use older generations must transition to newer connectivity technologies. These technologies should address current needs and support future growth and changing requirements.
Accelerate and Secure Your IoT Deployment
Shifting Standards
Network availability and regulatory requirements differ by region. As older networks phase out, new standards emerge. Regions that discontinued 2G and 3G have adopted:
- LTE-M
Network changes influence which connectivity options are available for global or regional deployments. Early planning is key to extending device life cycles.
Growing Use Cases
As the number of connected devices grows, so does the need for custom IoT solutions. Each new use case has unique requirements. Some need high bandwidth and ultralow latency. Others prioritize long battery life and broader coverage. No single technology can address every use case.
