Internet of things opportunities are most promising in the smart cities, e-health and manufacturing verticals, a survey largely of European mobile operators and others in the supply chain suggests. Business issues collectively seem to dominate the list of challenges.
Respondents were about equally divided on the most-promising roles. About 43 percent said the connectivity opportunity was highest, while 40 percent saw the greatest role would be as an end-to-end solutions provider.
Significantly, 48 percent of service provider respondents thought they should provide end-to-end IoT solutions, while 38 percent thought connectivity provider was the logical role.
Conducted by Mobile Europe/European Communications, the survey featured 102 responses, 40 percent of which were from network operators.
Some 87 percent of respondents were from Europe; seven percent from Asia and six percent from the Americas.
As you probably would expect, the business model is viewed as the biggest challenge, followed by security and lack of standards.
