Cellular IoT Connectivity: Increasing adopted for most IoT projects

 The choice of connectivity for deploying an IoT project can affect range, reliability and eventually how your solution performs. It can also affect device battery performance as data transfer speed fluctuates. Given there are a number of iot connectivity platform available for IoT device deployments but cellular IoT is becoming increasingly popular simply because of the secure and scalable device connections.

Essentially there are two different groups which are available in cellular IoT connectivity namely, High data rate cellular and low data rate cellular. The high data rate cellular uses generations of 3GPP mobile networks whereas lower data rate uses Low Power Wide Area Network, commonly known as LPWAN.

High data rate cellular is known to offer very comprehensive coverage which makes it perfect choice for cellular IoT use-case which require higher data transfers between devices and cloud such as real-time video. For instance if a public transport needs to be equipped with WiFi then this option would be ideal.

Whereas by contrast Lower power Wide Area Network will offer lower rate data connectivity for IoT devices but this will be compensated with lower bandwidth requirements.

Benefits for cellular IoT connectivity


Deploying iot solutions anywhere, cellular wins hands down. Not only it offers security but also scales easily without having significant overheads.

Simple

Deploying IoT devices through cellular IoT is simply about activating your SIM remotely through a connectivity management platform and you are good to go. And with cellular tech such as eSIm(eUICC), cellular can provide an incredibly flexible way to connect and manage devices.

Global Connectivity

Existing large-scale cellular network infrastructure provides ubiquitous connectivity and global coverage enabling accessibility of IoT devices which a technology like WiFi simply could not provide. Those black spots are the things of the past.

Cost

Earlier the cost of connecting an IoT device to a cellular network was high but when the times have changed and data costs have reduced significantly and there is a high competition in market among mobile network providers which has brought down the data cost and now connecting and enabling and IoT device is not that expensive anymore.

Low Code Applications Enablement Platforms Gaining Popularity?

  The current IoT scenario is characterized majorly by interest in connected devices, sensors, objects, and applications. A system that is fully IoT would be complicated as it involves people of varied expertise and various responsibilities. According to McKinsey’s Nov 2021 report “The Internet of Things: Catching up to an accelerating opportunity,” IoT can enable $5.5 trillion to $12.6 trillion in value globally by 2030. So this generated the instant need for an  application enablement platform  that not only has less code associated especially after Covid but in some cases, companies are demanding a complete no-code platform to rapidly develop applications to meet their immediate business demands without waiting for a software developer to implement these apps for them. Reasons for the increased popularity of Low-Code and No-Code Platforms Almost all businesses were operating remotely during COVID-19 resulting in many companies adopting a low code or simply a no-code ap...
