Operator opportunities in the internet of things – getting closer to the vision of more than 50 billion connected devices

Getting closer to the vision of more than 50 billion connected devices means knowing how to address the diverse connectivity needs of a massive number and variety of devices, while simultaneously facilitating smooth and efficient network provisioning. The internet of things presents new opportunities for operators and the value of connectivity for people, business and society is becoming more evident.
Estimates from different market analysts vary in terms of predicted figures – but they all agree that data usage will at least double every year until 2015, when data will outweigh voice 30 times over.
These predictions are based on the concept that anything that benefits from being connected will be connected. Consumers are increasingly getting used to constantly connected devices, behavior patterns are changing and the value of connectivity for people, business and society is becoming more evident.
More than 50 billion connected devices is a vision where the convenience brought to people’s lives through the use of mobile networks will be considered normal and expected; a vast number of M2M interactions will constantly take place; and a myriad of new services will raise dependency on mobile networks and secure a massive number of connections.
