IoT provides a foundation for ensuring security in 5G propositions
This report is available to those subscribed to the IoT & Enterprise module.
The GSMA held its Mobile 360 event in The Hague last month to share approaches to security challenges in 5G. The sector bears the burden of investing in, deploying and operating networks but has to fill the gap that 5G exposes in technical skills, business processes and cultural mindset. In among the 5G topics at the event was IoT security, with speakers sharing how they safeguard networks as IoT is deployed. We argue that operators can draw lessons from ensuring security in their IoT portfolios as a foundation for their 5G propositions for enterprises.

Towards a digital nation: addressing the scam economy in Asia Pacific
The rapid expansion of digital technologies, and mobile connectivity in particular, has profoundly impacted scam techniques and their reach. All individuals with a mobile subscription – approximately 5.8 billion people – are potential targets for scams. Rises in the volume, frequency, sophistication and success rate of scams in recent years are having a significant financial impact on victims and the global economy.
How IoT adopters should navigate IoT network coverage and connectivity options
Successful IoT deployment requires careful network selection, hardware planning, and ongoing connectivity management. Businesses must assess network coverage, roaming fees and SIM options while fostering strong relationships with IoT MVNOs or operators. Contingency plans are crucial, and so is access to reliable and regularly updated market intelligence as for IoT networks operation, network shutdown plans and hardware availability. This piece explores key factors shaping the availability of cellular IoT services and helps IoT adopters (both end-user industries and IoT device makers) to navigate the various options and make sense of latest market developments, such as AT&T’s NB-IoT exit and U-blox’s discontinuation of its cellular modules business.
