Connectivity by Design: The Future of Smart Payments

In a post-COVID world, Internet of Things (IoT) revenue growth has accelerated. Operators have been gearing up for future investments. Payments and retail have been undergoing an IoT transformation, from mobile payment systems to point-of-sale (POS) transactions and smart vending machines

The payment landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Cashless transactions, contactless payments and digital wallets have become universal. This transformation is changing how we pay and driving post-human transactions in which machines conduct transactions for their owners. This shift provides opportunities and challenges for companies that want to harness this market. 

Communication service providers (CSPs) will be pivotal as payments evolve toward machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions. To thrive in this environment, they must ensure robust connectivity and security for their services. 

Bundling Connectivity and Hardware for IoT-Enabled Smart Payments 

Following a “connectivity by design” approach and sourcing modules, connectivity plans and device management services from one provider is critical. The connectivity by design strategy integrates connectivity early in the development process, creating a foundation for resilient, secure transaction services. Bundling hardware and connectivity from one trusted provider ensures deployment efficiency and security.
