Managing the lifecycle of connected parts and applications in the global automotive industry

Globally connected vehicles are moving the automotive industry into a new era. Vehicles are being deployed with extensive sensor platforms that generate vast amounts of data from different systems (such as LIDAR, telematics control units, or OBD-II interfaces). At the same time, the advent of 5G and underlying low latency, high bandwidth V2X technology is enabling dozens of new, automotive use cases.

Together, these technological developments will revolutionize the globally connected vehicle market starting from the earliest stages of the manufacturing process to how people drive on the road. It should be no surprise then that the automotive IoT market is estimated to be worth $541.73 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 16.4%.1 But with all these opportunities arising, is the industry equipped for this brave new world of connectivity?

This whitepaper looks at the readiness of the automotive industry for the future of IoT, how it will affect all the key stakeholders, and how they can make the most of this opportunity.

Best Practice For End-To-End IoT Security

Security concerns remain a major barrier to IoT adoption for as many as 85% of IoT industry leaders1. Fraud is growing in this area, causing widespread agreement across the ecosystem that securing the IoT application is the only way to fully develop its business potential. The good news is the vast majority of attacks can be prevented – and the resilience of any IoT deployment significantly improved – with measures that are simple and cost-effective to implement.

This white paper explains how mobile connectivity is a central enabler of IoT security. It outlines best practice advice for protection built in at each layer of an IoT solution, and at every stage of its development.

Extending battery life is an entry point to profitable IoT

Industry 4.0 is a leap into new revenue streams for today’s manufacturers, with the help of data, analytics and Artificial Intelligence. The drive towards efficient transmission of data has launched technologies such as NB-IoT and CAT-M, that allow for more intelligent data transmission and power consumption.

Using these technologies, but taking them further still, floLIVE has developed a unique approach that comprises three routes to reduced latency.

This white paper includes:

-The answer to extending the battery life of IoT devices, making IoT truly profitable

-Three varied approaches to reduce latency and therefore improve performance

-The best way to balance connectivity with challenges such as roaming, security and compliance

-A thorough checklist for manufacturers to make sure they cover all of their bases when launching IoT projects

Does your BSS offer these 5 Things?

If you’re a mobile provider looking to adopt IoT use cases – let’s get it right. A legacy Business Support System is built for traditional use cases, while IoT demands its own functionality, including added flexibility, automation and control. Our whitepaper looks at the must-haves for a next-gen BSS that supports IoT, discussing:

– How to start small and scale as you grow using the might of the cloud

– Why a smart CRM is the simplest route to customer flexibility

– Specific use cases for levelling up using real-time visibility and control

-What you should expect from a sophisticated billing and rating engine

-The technology stack that provides self-management and control.

NB-IoT vs LTE-M: Which is the best choice for your IoT application?

Time is running out as 2G and 3G networks gradually sunset across the world, forcing many legacy use cases to be transferred to new connectivity technology.

NB-IoT and LTE-M have entered the market as two new network technologies created for enabling global IoT connectivity and capable of supporting LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Networks) technology.

As they steadily become available across the world, LTE-M and NB-IoT are viable options for industries looking to future proof their IoT devices and offer better coverage, longer lasting batteries and lower device cost.

But which of the two is the better choice for your IoT application? How are they different and how will they affect the market?

At the core of every successful IoT application is a carefully considered connectivity strategy.

This white paper is a comprehensive guide to making an informed choice. It explores the benefits and challenges of each technology and addresses all the pertinent questions you may have about LTE-M and NB-IoT.
