Promoted | What the sunset of 2G and 3G means for your IoT business

has served the mobile industry well for a long time. But as new spectrum is being auctioned and the roll-out of 5G continues to gain traction, the end of 2G and 3G is drawing nearer.

This is nothing new. Since the very beginning of networking, service providers have shut down legacy networks to make way for the next-generation network technology.As such, the shutdown of these older mobile frequencies may seem insignificant, but it has big implications for the internet of things industry. Recent surveys show that the sunset of 2G and 3G will affect more than half of all IoT devices connected via cellular.

Official start dates will be announced as they occur. It is expected that 2G services will not be shut down in areas where NB-IoT and LTE technologies have not been activated yet.With a large percentage of the 125 million cellular IoT connections deployed around the globe using less than 5MB of data per month, low-bandwidth solutions are still relevant and cost-effective.
