The Internet of Things is transforming business

Narrowband IoT - the future of embedded connectivity

Narrowband carries voice data on a limited number of frequencies, using lower bandwidth. So with NB-IoT you get better coverage and indoor penetration, and optimise power consumption and spectrum efficiency. CTE has 101 commercial NB-IoT networks in 55 countries around the world. Look to us to keep your business ahead in digital transformation when the 2G/3G mobile network is phased out.

Most people’s understanding of connected devices is limited to the ones they see every day such as voice- activated assistants, music players and televisions. In fact, the network of billions of connected devices known as the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming businesses around the world, and driving growth across industries including energy, healthcare, logistics, retail and transport. At a time when network coverage, connectivity, availability and device management capacity are critical for your business, turn to IoT solutions from China Telecom (Europe), CTE, to connect your operations in ways you never imagined.

How IoT is changing the world 4 connected devices per person by 2023 (Cisco estimations) 11% of the global economy by 2025 (forecast from GSMA) US $1.1tn company revenue generated worldwide by 2025 20-30% efficiency gains in operations made by businesses adopting IoT

Reinventing the business of a European vehicle manufacturer

Now that billions of new mobile devices are connected worldwide, roaming data is a vital element of a successful business. IoT providers need mobile connectivity suppliers to provide reliable connectivity at the lowest cost, wherever their IoT devices need to access mobile networks. Every sector has its own requirements, and they become increasingly complex when devices need to connect across national borders. Common issues faced by mobile connectivity providers In China, where there are 6 billion IoT mobile connections, businesses often turn to local partners to ensure they comply with local regulations. That’s just one of the challenges your business must overcome, including: • Complying with roaming regulations in complex markets (China, Turkey, India, Brazil) • Driving revenue from roaming services outside Europe • Unclear charging models and multiple bills Efficient, cost-effective cross border device connections

Working with an established European vehicle manufacturer, China Telecom (Europe)’s IoT business was able to deliver a stand out use case for telematics for insurance on motor vehicles. What the business wanted Digital Transformation: Smart monitoring equipment to collect relevant data from motor vehicles to better understand their customers driving activity. Connectivity: Low latency data transmission to a central server to efficiently collect and make use of customer data. SaaS (Software as a Service) Platform: A way to optimise insurance algorithm models to significantly reduce the cost of vehicle insurance for customers, making them more likely to buy the vehicles produced by the manufacturer.

How China Telecom (Europe) helped

• Unpredictable quality of service (QoS) using foreign networks • Losing control and visibility of your subscribers to a foreign network • Set-up costs of building strong bilateral relationships in foreign countries

China Telecom (Europe) acted as an integrator, partnering with a local SaaS provider who developed the insurance software application and an on-board diagnostics (OBD) supplier to provide a complete solution to our manufacturing client. 1. CTE provided comprehensive, compliant cross-border solutions. It acted as a one-stop shop for IoT services, using its status as a global MVNO service provider, its localised mobile operating licenses and the tax arrangements it has set up across Europe. 2. CTE took advantage of the economies of scale it enjoys as the world’s largest mobile operator to provide advanced, cost effective IoT Solutions. 3. CTE packages continued to add value after the initial set up, for our manufacturing client and its customers. The manufacturer‘s smart models and smart devices improved the safety of their vehicles, and insurers lowered their rates to the drivers of the vehicles made.

2021 will see the widespread rollout of 5G CPE – CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) which relays 5G mobile phone signals around your buildings. 5G CPE supports IoT devices with demands for greater data volumes as well as those that need ultra-low latency to be effective – allowing your business to use advanced IoT solutions. 5G brings high-speed internet access to hard-to-reach areas that require it most. It’s replacing expensive FTTH (Fibre to the home) installation in countries with low fibre connectivity rates due to lower population density such as agriculture areas and more remote locales. 5G CPE can help your business take advantage of the rapid deployment of 5G. 5G CPE for more bandwidth, high speed and wide coverage
