IoT is a large, dynamic market and yet still an emerging technology in many
ways with potential to continue to evolve and substantially grow.
IoT connectivity, essentially how an IoT device or sensor transmits data
from the device to the IoT platform where it is analyzed, is critical to an
IoT project. Connectivity is the foundation for ensuring the IoT data gets to
where it needs to be. This data must also be secure while itis in motion,
and that is a critical element of the connectivity story.
The value of connectivity to IoT projects can't be overstated. While the U.S.
IoT cellular connectivity market slowed somewhat in 2020 because of the
pandemic, a variety of factors are coming together to create an
environment for consistent growth through the next five years.
