Operator Challenges

The challenge for operators is that many new classes of terminal have very different behaviours on the network compared to traditional voice and data capable cell phones.

Some common questions include:

Precise information on the nature & capabilities of cellular device is needed to answer these questions.

Device Map provides granular identification of IoT devices, indexed on TAC, enabling:

Capacity Allocation

Device Map enables identification of M2M as opposed to consumer devices, allowing accurate capacity allocation in the network.

Traffic Segmentation

Permits distinguishing between traffic which is 100% IoT (IoT Endpoints) and traffic which may represent a mix of IoT and non-IoT traffic (IoT Enablers).

Fraud Control

Facilitates measurement of IoT traffic trends, including levels of abuse of rate plans to ensure that device usage or capability is aligned with the terms of the subscription.

Deep Insights

Provides deep insight into the capabilities of an IoT device, e.g. identifying whether LTE-M and/or NB-IoT are supported as an input to network planning.

The Device Map Solution

With identification of nearly 50 classes of connected devices, across consumer and M2M devices, Device Map provides the tools to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.

IoT devices are categorized into the following:

IoT endpoint

Sensor and/or actuator, with cellular connectivity, e.g. camera, data collection terminal, geolocation tracker

IoT enabler

Provides cellular connectivity to otherwise unconnected devices, e.g. embedded network module, modem

IoT controller

Data receiver and aggregator command/control of remote and/or local IoT devices, e.g. digital home assistants, meter hubs, security hubs

Device Map for IoT

Businesses need the deep insight into the nature and capabilities of terminals which Device Map provides.
