Emerging Opportunities in M2M Managed Services
Author: Dan McDuffie, CEO, Wyless
MNOs all over the world are waking up to the market potential of M2M and many of them are becoming more end-to-end in their service offerings. They are doing this through alliances with other MNOs and through partnerships with service providers across the ecosystem, be they engineering companies, applications developers, equipment providers or MVNOs.
Because of the low churn and relatively low-use profiles of M2M, coupled with high demand, data services are being commoditized as MNOs look to onboard large, scalable and strategic projects at any cost. Thus, as MNOs are becoming increasingly competitive, the traditional data MVNO is being forced to rethink their value proposition.
But while the MNOs are the cornerstone of M2M connectivity – after all, it’s their networks we are all using – some M2M MVNOs are morphing into Managed Services Providers (MSPs) and helping to solve the complexities that still exist in the market. As a result, this new breed of MSPs are adding a layer of value over the MNO networks. Until now, M2M connectivity has been looked upon as a data resale model, whereas in the future it is going to become more of a network management model.
