Listen to the podcast to find out:

· Why SGP.32 is making waves in the world of IoT.

· What enterprises need to be aware of about those claiming they have SGP.32-based solutions available now.

· The role managed service providers (MSPs) play in global connectivity.

Tune in to learn how SGP.32 will be the dominant standard in the world of IoT.

Running hospitals, warehouses, and corporations today requires more than good management. A world of “massive IoT” necessitates nothing less than global, maximum connectivity. And Finland-based IoT company Haltian has plenty of use cases to prove it.

In the 46th episode of IoT Leaders, Haltian VP Head of Product Management Jarno Majava talks about what it takes to equip multiple verticals—ranging from automotive manufacturing to professional services multinationals—with globally connected IoT sensors that change business outcomes for good.

Listen to the podcast to find out:

· How smart building companies are set to harness massive IoT in partnership with Eseye.

· Why businesses need to consider all business costs.

· How Haltian’s team equipped an entire hospital with its Wirepas tracking solution and got data flowing within seven hours.

· The number one factor that’s increasing time to revenue (TTR), reducing connectivity, and wrecking productivity.

Tune in to learn how companies like Haltian can, as Eseye's CEO Nick Earle describes, “get information—from anything at all—through a gateway and consolidate it” with device-led intelligent connectivity.

If the telecoms industry is Mount Everest, TELUS VP of 5G and Industry Solutions Jodi Baxter is leading the climb toward the peak of global IoT connectivity.

To achieve this, Jodi drives TELUS with a single-minded vision of collaboration among mobile network operators (MNOs). She says collaboration is the only way to unite and turn the tide of advancing technology — 5G, multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT), and smartly connected devices — in MNOs' favor.

Listen to the podcast to find out:

• How a leading MNO will climb from base camp to the peak of the Mount Everest of connectivity
• Why inter-operator collaboration is the key to unlocking the full potential of IoT devices and global connectivity 
• More about the white-labeled Eseye platform enabling TELUS to become a global SIM and operator 

Tune into this special episode to get the inside scoop on how they’re tackling the challenges facing the telecoms industry today.

You can find stories of the positive impacts of enhanced connectivity anywhere.

The work of eWATERservices — installing safe, affordable and accessible water systems in communities across sub-Saharan Africa — is a great example of IoT’s power to meaningfully shape people’s lives.

eWATERservices Chief Operations Officer James Kay talks about the immense challenges some people face every day to get what many typically take for granted: clean water. James dives into: 

• Why the traditional non-governmental organization (NGO) model of providing water to communities in need doesn’t work
• How eWATERservices overcame hardware design issues to bring clean, safe water to sub-Saharan Africa
• The biggest obstacle to scaling eWATERservices and how the carbon credit model could uproot it

Listen to this episode to learn about how Eseye partnered with eWATERservices to give sub-Saharan African villages water they can rely on and why connectivity can often be the difference between life and death.

While 2023 was all about the device for the IoT industry, 2024 is already shaping up to emphasize the device even more than before.

The overarching theme of Eseye’s predictions for 2023 was how mobile network operators (MNOs) were finally going to cede control of IoT connectivity to enterprises. The predictions didn’t quite play out as expected, but they were fairly accurate:

1. The MNO lock was finally broken, but the driver was the eSim rather than the hyperscaler threat. 
2. There’s more interest in roaming between private and public networks, but adoption is a little slower than anticipated.
3. People are adopting multi-radio access type (RAT) technology — as part of operator-agnostic connectivity, which is Eseye’s DNA — though not necessarily in the same device. The next step is putting them together.
4. Consumer-enterprise IoT convergence is happening, as evidenced by home-based EV chargers, home security, remote patient monitoring, rising interest in IoT within elderly care, and the sheer proliferation of devices. 

2023 was meant to be the year of the device, but its importance in IoT has been underestimated. Consider SmartConnect increasing connectivity from 93 to 99 percent for PharmaWatch with intelligence at the edge.

On balance, the mid-year reflection proved the main trend to be accurate: MNOs did lose power over IoT. 

Based on the theme of the device at the center, Eseye makes three big predictions for 2024:

1. Smart connectivity will securely and reliably link intelligence from the device to the cloud.
2. Connectivity will provide applications with feedback to make intelligent decisions about whether to process data on the cloud or on the device.
3. With the rise of AI, IoT business use cases will focus more on trust, data protection, and regulatory compliance.
