Velos IoT’s Senior IoT Manager David Lindblad recently shared his thoughts on eSIM and the role the technology plays in helping connectivity providers and IoT organisations work together. If you have missed the article on LinkedIn, here is what he says about the competitive IoT market and eSIM.
There are many elements in a successful IoT deployment. Apart from hardware, connectivity, and feature considerations, you’ll also need a software portal (i.e. an IoT platform) to manage it all. If your project calls for remote connectivity management, then an IoT connectivity management platform is likely the best kind of IoT platform for you.
IoT drives progress in nearly every industry, including robotics, a field that’s growing in leaps and bounds thanks in part to dramatic advances in artificial intelligence. The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) is a phrase used to describe where these two cutting-edge technologies overlap.
The IoRT has incredibly promising applications – and stringent connectivity demands. Here, we outline the IoT network needs for commercial and industrial robotics and Velos IoT’s approach to them.
The service robotics market is experiencing significant growth, fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence and automation technologies. The increasing demand for automation across sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, and logistics is driving this expansion. Furthermore, rising labour shortages and the need for efficient service delivery are accelerating the adoption of service robots. As businesses pursue innovative solutions to improve operational efficiency, the market is anticipated to continue its upward trajectory.
Nevertheless, this rapidly growing industry faces its own set of challenges. With numerous components in motion—both in a literal and metaphorical sense—each element, as well as their collective interaction, presents considerable hurdles for robotics projects.
The robotics market is a complex and multifaceted industry. It requires long development periods and talent that is in high demand, to overcome the challenges it poses. In this post, we’ll cover three of the biggest challenges facing robotics startups — and explain how we at Velos IoT, think they can be solved.
Asset tracking, also known as asset management, monitors physical assets throughout the supply chain to streamline operations and prevent loss. Traditionally, businesses relied on manual methods to track high-value items, such as scanning barcodes or conducting periodic inventories. IoT-enabled asset tracking streamlines this process, making it more effective and providing real-time visibility.
According to a recent report by Grand View Research, the global asset tracking market size is projected to reach $55.1 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 13.7% from 2023 to 2030.
“In tough times, we need to remind others and be reminded that we are not alone.”
This is especially true today as globally people, homes, communities, entire nations struggle to contain the outfall of the C-19 pandemic. No outpost, no country, no business remains untouched by the human and economic catastrophe that the world is witnessing today. The governments, have started clamping down on the movement of people, restricting them from their regular activities, limiting the interaction – and rightly so, as no cost is bigger than the value of a human life.
But, as it has been said “necessity is the mother of invention” ; people have started finding new ways of doing their activities – from celebrating video birth days , doing home exercises, to concerts given to a global audience.
While eSIM technology is just starting to become available in smartphones, it has been powering the Internet of Things for years. Learn why eSIMs have become the industry standard for IoT connectivity in transportation, healthcare, utilities, and others.
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects more than consumer products like smart speakers and lights. Projections suggest that the total number of business IoT connections will surpass the number of consumer connections within the next few years. Most of those business IoT connections will be cellular, led by the automotive, industrial, utilities and transport sectors.
What is cellular IoT, and how is it different from consumer-grade connectivity? Learn about the advantages of cellular IoT and the different types of cellular connections used in IoT.
Migrating a business from one mobile operator to another can take a great deal of time and money, no matter the size or structure of your organisation. Oftentimes, the pressure of a network transfer is so great that businesses avoid it altogether.
Today, however, Velos IoT’s eSIM services make switching networks a seamless experience. Velos IoT customers can transition from one network to another, without any of the issues typical of traditional network migration.
If you’ve ever embarked on global broadcasting, you’ll know that most connectivity solutions are complicated at best, with few cellular providers able to cover the global range that broadcasters need. This means in order to meet their coverage demands; broadcasters are often left with the logistical nightmare of relying on multiple providers at once.
Live broadcasting is a challenging field, no matter what kind of content you’re capturing. However, when it comes to live sports broadcasting, the challenges can be more of an uphill battle than usual.
The first live broadcast was made in 1929 by the BBC. And today, nearly a century later, live broadcasts are as popular as ever. Whether it’s for sports, news, daily shows or one-off, special events: live coverage is a great way to unite audiences and bring them closer to the action.
But whilst the popularity of live broadcasts remains high, the technology behind it has changed significantly over time.
Today, there are more options for streaming live content than ever before and choosing the right broadcasting connectivity is an absolute must.
So, let’s break down exactly what connection you will require for your live broadcasts.
Connectivity is one of the core components of broadcasting: it ultimately determines how the event you’re streaming reaches the screens of your audience.
Unfortunately, though, it is also one of the most challenging elements of a successful broadcast. And that’s, in part, because of how few connectivity providers offer a truly global connectivity solution.
And when providers do offer global connectivity, it often comes with an ineffective price tag and a service that lacks in reliability.
While it’s tempting to focus solely on the hardware of IoT, it’s crucial not to underestimate the importance of your network. Your network is the backbone of your IoT project, ensuring it remains online and connected – it is the essence of the “Internet” in the “Internet of Things”.
Massive IoT deployment refers to a section of IoT where a high volume of IoT devices are deployed (hence the name) but none of these devices is very powerful on its own. IoT devices in a massive IoT system are usually simple, use a small amount of power, and don’t need to be connected to the internet around the clock.
Massive IoT systems are generally used for tracking and monitoring purposes. These networks might be made up of devices like meters, sensors, and trackers. These devices usually only have one or two functions and are mainly used to gather data. Since all they typically need to do is gather and transfer data, they only connect to the internet periodically.
The challenge of these kinds of IoT systems is keeping maintenance to an absolute minimum. They should be extremely reliable, durable, and long-lasting.
Velos IoT is leading the telecom and connectivity industry forward by adapting to the latest trends in technology, including Smart Cities and IoT.
Through our experience with connected cities and the rest of the IoT industry, we know that connectivity is one of the biggest challenges at-scale projects face. Often, connectivity is costly, consumes a lot of power, and doesn’t scale well with your project. Not to mention that some networks aren’t able to offer dependable connectivity on a global scale.
When considering the term “Internet of Things”, one might initially perceive it as a vague concept rather than a concrete reality. This term encompasses a wide range of devices that connect to the internet, spanning from coffee makers to traffic lights.

The idea of the “Smart City,” is something we’ve been dreaming of since the days of The Jetsons and Back to The Future II – but what exactly makes a city “smart”?
A Smart City – or at least, as a concept – is a city that incorporates modern technology down to the public utility level. Everything from public transportation, traffic signs, public services, buildings, roadways would use connected devices to provide a better, heightened way of living. Cars will drive themselves, sensors around the city will determine the most efficient water usage, and energy will be conserved.
“Smart City” is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days, along with Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, AR, and other buzzwords – but what does it mean?
While the exact picture of what a Smart City is varies from person to person, there are a couple of things most of us can agree on.
Optimisation is becoming an increasingly pressing objective for all businesses, including industrial IoT device manufacturers. As the consumer market is becoming more competitive, businesses are being pressured from all sides to offer a great user experience at an affordable price.
Under these challenging conditions, it is those companies that can innovate and evolve in the most data-driven way that will stay ahead of their competitors.
However, knowing which areas require innovation and being certain that your evolution is heading in the right direction, requires business decisions to be based on actionable data.
IoT services have the potential to add enormous value and limitless reach to industrial businesses.
However, without a global network supporting you, it can be extremely challenging (if not impossible) for your business to fully exploit the advantages that IoT services offer.
If your business is enjoying growth from new markets or has ambitious export plans, you need to think about how your equipment and devices can easily and reliably connect to any mobile network – irrespective of the country and location in which they are deployed.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the key things to consider to ensure you have the global coverage needed for your IoT service needs.
In the world of IoT, you need several ingredients to get your M2M project up and running. The two main components of any IoT project, though, are your IoT devices and your connectivity. Whatever you use to keep your devices connected with one another, or the cloud – be it Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular data, etc. – is what puts the “I” in “IoT”.
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has the potential to transform patient care completely. If implemented widely, it will revolutionise the patient experience and enable healthcare services to manage their resources much more effectively than they are able to now by alleviating the pressure of healthcare systems around the world.
The adoption of RPM will not be without its challenges, though. This article will take a look at some of the biggest barriers to entry for RPM technology that are yet to be overcome.
