Ericsson is really stepping up its efforts in the enterprise segment. With all the IT players moving into 5G private networks, Ericsson can't afford to compete with one hand tied behind its back. https://t.co/Oi64aQKwUm

Heard another vote in favor of LoRaWAN yesterday. A big integrator and IoT solution provider mentioned LoRaWAN several times, complimenting the breadth and depth of the ecosystem.

The chip shortage continues to hinder the IoT market. A big integrator and solution provider told me yesterday that access to IoT devices remains challenging. What used to take a few months of lead time now might take a year or more.

5G IoT will enable an exciting future, but the telecom industry is still struggling to deliver the present. Join the webinar to learn where things stand and what needs to be done for IoT to thrive.

The popularity of mobile private networks continues to spread. Nice milestone in Hungary as Vodafone and Ericsson deploy private 5G for Foxconn. https://t.co/cNeXIzSOb0

Interesting conversation with a UK property manager today. They don't use much IoT, despite the many benefits, because they don't own the property. Might change if they find a business model/partner to jointly offer complete solutions to the property owners.

Deutsche Telekom is setting some ambitious sustainability goals with #GreenMagenta. Good to see the board's own targets are linked to these targets.

Useful view on costs for those expecting 5G will quickly take over low-cost IoT apps: "Huawei estimates that the average price of 5G modules will level out at around US$100 by the end of 2020, and hit US$40 by the end of 2022...." https://t.co/PMfHNoRl5E
