Telecom Business Review

Abstract

The world is undergoing a dramatic transformation, rapidly transforming from isolated systems to ubiquitous internet-enabled 'things' capable of generating data that can be analysed to extract valuable information. Commonly known as the internet of things (IOT), this new reality will enrich everyday life, increase business productivity, improve monitoring of traffic, control crime and improve government efficiency, etc. The IoT is based on the integration of billions of different things, from tiny sensors to video cameras, from cars to production machines. The main objective is to integrate or connect things that can be used as sensors or actuators.

Developing & under-developed economies constitutes about 80% of world population. This paper talks about how these strata of population can benefit from Internet of Things, which according to Ericsson vision of Networked society will connect some 50Bn devices across the globe by 2020.

Abstract

“Change is the very core to evolution”, these lines were probably never truer. Telecom technology has evolved many a time and the associated services are getting newer, smarter and user friendly. The journey starts with technology evolution and makes many things possible with the business growing more and more complex.

With the advent of IoT enabled ‘Real Time Location Sensing’ Solution, a number of challenges in the mining sector can be addressed and a turnkey solution can be provided. The backhaul for large scale data capture and communication needs technologies such as 4G/5G for which operators have a really good chance of getting a large share of the pie.

This paper talks about some key customer challenges in the mining space, some specific use cases which can be addressed using RTLS solution. The paper also talks about the comparative analysis of the current RTLS technologies and value proposition by an operator.
