“ The successful
trial, in conjunction with Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, proves that both
companies have the ability to support new IoT services and technologies for
MTN. The initial use of this technology has been for tracking and reporting use
cases that have benefited both consumer and business customers. At MTN we are
providing the platform for these and future applications to enhance people’s
lives.” For Rafiah Ibrahim, President, Ericsson Middle East and Africa, “Today, the majority of telco IoT revenue
comes from machine-to-machine connectivity, but in the next five years, this
will change to revenue from platforms, applications and services.
This trial
ensures MTN South Africa will capture new revenue streams and deliver the best
experience to its customers.” James Munn, Vice President of Business
Development, Qualcomm South Africa, said that
“This trial supports the first wave of IoT use cases requiring extended
coverage and battery life, compared to today’s baseline 2G/GSM and LTE. “Our
MDM9206 global multimode LTE IoT modem, designed to support LTE Cat M1, NB-1
and E-GPRS and global RF bands, brings many enhancements and optimizations to
LTE that can help reduce IoT complexity, up to ten years of battery life and
low device costs, and support operators such as MTN South Africa”
