The Future of Internet of Things, Part 1: Moving Beyond Endpoint Connectivity

The current landscape for Internet of Things (IoT) networks in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) and the use cases they support today are changing rapidly. Until recently, several challenges have been hindering the rapid deployment of cellular IoT at scale, with the exception of China having benefited from unique conditions with deployment at scale backed by state-sponsored incentives, a massive ecosystem of hardware vendors, and predictable and affordable pricing from the country's communications SPs. The rest of the region was missing many of these key enablers, including roaming, billing, and others. However, with the increased maturity of the ecosystem behind narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and Long-Term Evolution for Machines (LTE-M), there is renewed momentum across APEJ, with several markets preparing large-scale launches."IoT has been much hyped in recent years, especially when one considers that NB-IoT and LTE-M were standardized and 'available' since 2016. China has been early with its backing of NB-IoT, but the increasing maturity of cellular IoT standards and related device ecosystems will drive a number of large-scale launches across Asia/Pacific in 2022 and beyond," says Shiv Putcha, contributing analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
