Global IoT providers to deliver more than just connectivity
Summary
The research shows significant pain points and highlights the resulting demand for connectivity providers to deliver flexible, value-added solutions – such as eSIM, security, and remote SIM provisioning – to meet the needs of today’s enterprises scaling up their IoT investments. The results shed light on the increasing complexity of global IoT projects, revealing common issues around permanent roaming restrictions and the intricacies of managing multi-provider relationships. It’s a clear call for connectivity providers to raise their game with more sophisticated and tailored offerings.” Permanent roaming restrictions have become a key factor influencing eSIM adoption. Additionally, 45% of organisations across all industries say that avoiding permanent roaming restrictions and operator lock-in were reasons for choosing eSIM, following security (50%) and long-term cost reduction (47%). This reduces stock keeping unit (SKU) management complexities and is particularly advantageous for sectors like energy and utilities, with over half (55%) recognising it as a factor in adopting eSIM.
