As
the number of IoT devices increase at a fast rate, the need to support them
with appropriate IoT data
connectivity is also rising. The fact that data requirements will be in
zettabytes in the coming years makes the situation all the more challenging for
mobile virtual operators like MVNOs. As these small-scale operators rely
heavily on the network frequency spectrum provided by the MNOs, they would have
to think out of the box if they truly want to rule the market. The biggest
challenge is to grow across all verticals as IoT requirements are quite
diverse.
Growth
in Different Verticals, But Data is the Key
IoT
is a multi-faceted technology and it requires you to have presence across all
verticals. From SIM delivery to security, you need to provide above par
experience to the subscribers in order to succeed. But the ground-reality is
that the MVNOs are already pushed to the limit. Barring a few MVNOs, most
virtual operators are struggling to keep up with the new industry challenges.
As FCC announces new rules every other day, MVNOs need a platform that allows
them to stay adherent with every new compliance, and at the same time let them
launch attractive IoT offering. Some major verticals that an MVNO needs to grow
in are:
Hardware
IoT
has immense requirements that start from the hardware. Sensors, SIMs and
real-time charging servers are some of the most basic needs for sustaining an
IoT network.
Software
APIs
need to be written for IoT use cases. Non-tech MVNOs do not have the
capabilities to design their own APIs. A telecom services vendor like Telgoo5
has several APIs that are built from the ground up to meet the unique
requirements of its clients. Apart from that, it also excels in adapting to the
industry changes and tech developments very quickly.

IoT
data has the most important role in the IoT use case.
Unlike regular connectivity, IoT use cases require unique connectivity
solutions ranging from Wi-Fi, mobile connectivity, WLAN, satellite, LoRA,
SigFox etc. An
MVNO requires the right kind of connectivity at its disposal, if it
wants to serve clients from different niches. For example, LoRA is a low power
connectivity solution that can be implemented in situations where bandwidth
requirements are low and sensor discharge is a major issue.
Accurate
IoT Billing
Once
an MVNO has customers, it is important that it treats them right. Bringing in
transparency into billing can build trust amongst subscribers, but it is more
difficult than it seems. A true real-time billing system is required to charge
and rate every service in real-time, so that charges are applied precisely on
every service. Implementation of an Online Charging System (OCS) like the one
provided by Telgoo5 is the key to winning new customers and keeping the
existing customer base satisfied.
Security
IoT
data connectivity is a boon for the evolution of
technology, but it is also the entry point for hackers. With encrypted IoT data,
this threat can be neutralized. At Telgoo5, we not only implement strong
security measures on the data, we also provide a unique public IP for every
connection.
Telgoo5
is one of the leading telecom support services providers for both MVNOs and
MVNEs. We have the right tools and setup to serve your every need. Our
reporting is world-class and we use analytics to improve the efficiency of your
telecom billing services. We provide you the perfect back up in the time of
your need by offering you 24x7 customer support services. Partnering with
Telgoo5 is the best way to monetize and deliver IoT data services.
