Investments into IoT solutions are continuing to grow as businesses see gains in productivity, sustainability and cost benefits, a new Omdia IoT Enterprise Survey has found, with a particular focus on 5G, eSIM and fixed wireless access technologies. Of the businesses surveyed, 70% said they plan to use 5G, while just under 90% of enterprises are set to deploy eSIM and iSIM technology over the next two years. According to the survey, 95% of respondents said they anticipate seeing marked benefits from IoT deployments within two years of deployment. “While some tech giants have scaled back their IoT efforts, enterprises are embracing IoT and seeing remarkable results,” said John Canali, IoT Principal Analyst, Omdia and author of the report. “In fact, enterprises are very forward-looking in incorporating new technologies like 5G, fixed wireless access (FWA), and eSIM/iSIM technology.”While the findings are a positive sign for IoT solutions providers, they will also result in increased competition within the sector.
