The new research, Low Power M2M: Technology Impact Analysis, Vertical Assessment & Forecasts 2018-2022, found that connectivity providers offering low cost unlicenced alternatives to cellular technologies such as NB-IoT and LTE-M, will threaten operators’ return on investment. It found that overall service revenues from unlicenced low power connections will be 102% higher than those over their cellular counterparts by 2022.
Without the cost of spectrum acquisition or radio development, unlicenced connections can be implemented rapidly, and cost-effectively. As a result, the report urged mobile operators to set cellular low power M2M prices accordingly, highlighting their superior capabilities and network reach over unlicenced connections to justify their higher subscription price and module cost.
In addition, research author Sam Barker noted “Unlicenced spectrum M2M service providers must focus on rapid expansion of their networks’ coverage in order to offer the same breadth of services that can be offered by network operators.”
