QUESTION
ANSWER
New innovative cellular technologies like LTE for IoT and eSIM are becoming available and will unlock new product applications and huge amounts of business value within IoT alone.
The cellular ecosystem is incredibly fragmented, and building vertically integrated products and customer solutions with a guaranteed 5-10 year lifespan is incredibly challenging.
How can product creators build solutions that bring the value of these technological breakthroughs to their customers without exposing themselves to excessive development risk?
1. Discount the hype. New technologies often carry bold claims supported by unrealistic assumptions and use cases. Go hands-on with new tech to understand the value it can provide your customers.
2. Leverage future-compatible platforms and ecosystems. Work with proven technology integrators who can provide a hardware and software-compatible path to future technologies.
3. Don’t wait for the technology of tomorrow. Build your product with technology that works for your customers today.

IN IOT, COST AND COVERAGE DIFFERENTIATE 2G/3G
HW Cost Power Consumption (Tx) Bandwidth* Network Status
2G $8-$12 Short bursts of power (2A peaks)
50 kbps (GPRS theoretical
max)
Many operators plan to sunset between
2017 and 2020
3G $15-$20 Continuous power draw (~700mA)
1.0 - 15 Mpbs (varies by WCDMA,
HSPA, HSPA+)
No announced sunset timelines
• Cellular chipsets provide support at the HW level • Carriers provide support at the infrastructure level
* for most IoT applications, both are plenty

ESIM WILL SIMPLY LIFE FOR MANUFACTURERS
IoT-enabled product manufacturers would have the ability to build devices with “blank” SIMs that could be activated in the destination country. This functionality would make for easy equipment connectivity and allow manufacturers to offer new products in new market segments.

ESIM WILL ENABLE NEW CONSUMER BUSINESS MODELS
By adopting e-SIM technology, mobile network operators…would also have the ability to provide convergent offers with multiple devices (for instance, the smart car and smart watch) under a single contract with the consumer more conveniently than they would using physical SIM cards.
