Many operators worldwide have already launched mobile IoT services, and the GSMA encourages others to do the same to capitalize this market opportunity.
The internet of things is helping non-traditional carriers to actually become mobile operators. Summa Networks’ NextGen HSS is 3GPP release 13 ready – therefore suitable for IoT applications in 5G. Summa Networks is working on projects to integrate its NextGen HSS in IoT solutions such as VoLTE and VoWiFi in a box, enabling indirect clients such as cable companies to acquire mobile technology and offer it to verticals.
HSS-enabled IoT applications play a crucial role in boosting the industry revenue of $1.8T expected for 2026. According to Machina Research’s figures in its IoT Forecast Database Research, the Americas will be the region taking the lion’s share with revenue accounting for $534 billion (about one third) of the total.
