The impact of this was that AT&T became unavailable on a number of roaming routes, this required Eseye to also change the underlying IMSI profiles to the customer’s devices to assure continuity of service across multiple networks.”
But the net effect, says Nick Earle, is that roaming agreements are not guaranteed to be permanent and that’s a big issue for customers wanting to implement global projects.
But what’s starting to happen in mobile networks is that MNOs are coalescing into camps, they’re raising their prices, and are actually renegotiating IoT roaming agreements.
So now it’s becoming really hard to roll out global IoT.”
The Catch-22 is that if MNOs want to target global IoT deployments, they are forced to open their home network to outside operators, which means they lose control of the customer and the revenue.
So, they have a series of local roaming agreements,” says Earle.
The first four are; the MNOs being squeezed by roaming rates and commercial agreements and forming more and more walled gardens, the customers demanding global deployment, the hyperscale cloud providers offering greater value to the customer, and the fourth is the module manufacturers who Earle says are simplifying the process of IoT deployments, globally.
“What they’re saying is, ‘I’m going to make it even easier for you to have a global module that will connect to say AWS, anywhere around the world.” Of course, the fifth force that Earle puts in the middle of the other four is Eseye.
Why would they allow us to actually look as if we are them, the operator?” Earle says the reason that they will do it is because Eseye’s model solves the problem of the five forces for the MNO and allows them to win large global IoT deployments and localise the data onto their network while still retaining ownership of the customer.
The mobile network operators that Eseye contracts with are doing it to solve the economic problem of how to do profitable global IoT business
