5G IoT Market Dynamics
Driver: Unleashing massive 5G IoT ecosystem and critical communication services
The growing popularity of IoT use cases in various sectors relying on connectivity spanning large areas and the increasing need to handle many connections have driven the demand for massive IoT technologies. Today, massive IoT is emerging as a new focal point for IoT connectivity technologies. It is an attractive opportunity for 5G, but telcos still rely on the current cellular IoT standards, such as the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) in the early 5G era. 5G networks are expected to support the massive rollout of intelligent IoT nodes for a multitude of scenarios. They would also provide a competent platform to support the widespread adoption of critical communications services. Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) is developed as a part of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 13/14 Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies, which include NB-IoT. These technologies are expected to meet most 5G mMTC requirements. The widespread adoption of IoT and continuous advancements in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication networks are transforming various verticals by connecting all types of devices, appliances, systems, and services.
Restraint: Lack of standardization in IoT protocols
As a diverse range of devices needs to be connected, the need to coordinate with these different devices has increased. Various devices use different hardware, run over different platforms, and are manufactured by different vendors. This incompatibility among devices, sensors, and even interfaces of remote servers causes the interoperability challenge in the IoT space. IoT involves every aspect of human life, and the challenge lies in unifying these standards so that M2M communication becomes user-friendly and flexible. Several associations and organizations are working toward resolving this issue. The existing interoperability standards, such as MTConnect, Ethernet for Control Automation Technology (EtherCAT), MCS-DCS Interface Standardization (MDIS), Master Control System (MCS), Distributed Control System (DCS), and Interface Standardization, promote data interchange across heterogeneous domains and industries. Companies currently use custom Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and solutions for every IoT project. A common protocol and communication standard is required to enable communication among IoT-enabled devices to share data or form an intelligent network.
Opportunity: Development of smart infrastructure
Infrastructural initiatives, such as smart cities and smart buildings, are conceptual models designed to deliver a set of cutting-edge services and infrastructure. A smart city can be defined as a city that efficiently deploys its ICT infrastructure to improve the quality of life and augment the efficiency of urban operations and services. The city can be considered smart if it adheres to the following components: smart transportation, smart buildings, smart utilities, and smart citizen services. Therefore, the successful implementation of smart city projects heavily depends on the technologies—data communications, cloud, mobility, and sensors—which collectively form IoT. Due to a huge demand for rapid connectivity and fast communication, 5G services can see huge opportunities in the future.
Challenge: Risk of uncertainty in terms of RoIs
Enterprises consider 5G as an enabler of their evolving IoT agendas. IoT improves the effectiveness of enterprise operations and ensures proper asset usage, extends equipment service life, and improves reliability and return on assets. However, IoT deployments in various industries incur several huge initial investments, such as spending on hardware (sensors and gateways), connectivity, cloud storage, administrative labor, and technical support. There is uncertainty related to Return on Investments (RoIs). Thus, businesses have to consider how quickly they can introduce new solutions and how fast it would take for a solution to start generating revenue. Therefore, in various countries, SMEs do not get easily ready to incur such huge initial costs of IoT deployment, which can hinder market growth. 5G networks can provide advantages, such as Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) and network slicing. Operators need end-to-end 5G networks to be expansible and flexible to efficiently deliver extensive services to users, which finally brings competitive advantages to operators.
