Leveraging Emerging Connectivity Technologies: What Enterprises Need to Know

Welcome to this week’s edition of The IoT Pulse!

IoT connectivity is evolving, with new technologies offering greater flexibility, efficiency, and security. Multi-IMSI, eSIM (RSP.32), and iSIM are reshaping how enterprises manage global connectivity, enabling seamless network switching, optimized roaming, and ultra-compact, power-efficient solutions. As businesses scale their IoT deployments, understanding how to leverage these innovations—alongside emerging solutions like satellite IoT—is critical to ensuring reliable, cost-effective operations.

In this edition, we hear from Martin Nord, CTO and PTO of Com4, a leading provider of managed IoT connectivity. With over 20 years of industry experience, Martin specializes in helping businesses navigate the complexities of IoT connectivity. In this edition, he shares expert insights on the latest advancements, key deployment considerations, and how enterprises can future-proof their IoT strategies.

IoT is changing the way businesses operate, offering smarter ways to improve efficiency, cut costs, and even create new revenue streams. But getting it right isn’t just about the tech—it’s about making sure IoT delivers real business value. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

1. Focus on what you want to achieve as a business:

The most successful IoT projects don’t start with technology—they start with a goal. What’s the business outcome you’re looking for? Is it better efficiency? Lower costs? A better customer experience? If you define success first, choosing the right tech becomes much easier.

2. Don’t do it alone—Work with experts

IoT can be tricky. Connectivity, security, and managing devices at scale all bring challenges. Partnering with an experienced IoT provider like Com4 helps you avoid costly mistakes and get up and running faster. The right partner brings industry knowledge, reliable solutions, and a clear roadmap to success—so you don’t have to figure it all out yourself.

3. IoT and AI: A Powerful Combination

IoT doesn’t just collect data—it helps businesses make smarter decisions. AI-powered IoT solutions can predict failures before they happen, optimize operations in real-time, and unlock new business models. Com4’s customers are already using IoT and AI to prevent equipment failures, improve logistics, and boost security. The opportunities are endless.

4. The right connectivity matters

Not all IoT use cases are the same, so picking the right connectivity technology is key:

• Need coverage anywhere? Satellite IoT solutions keep devices connected even in remote areas.
• Looking for energy efficiency? LPWA (LTE-M and NB-IoT) networks are ideal for devices that need long battery life.
• Want flexibility and future-proofing? eSIM (RSP.32) lets you change networks remotely, without swapping SIM cards.
• Need a super-secure, compact solution? iSIM builds connectivity right into the device chipset, making it even more efficient.

IoT is about more than just connecting devices—it’s about making a real impact on your business. By focusing on the right goals, working with the right partners, and using the right technology, you can unlock huge opportunities. The companies getting IoT right today are the ones shaping the future.
