A gateway company wants to highlight its ability to support aggregation and usually Wi-Fi, and a carrier wants to highlight the mobility. The reality of is that we have a very brown field of existing solutions in the marketplace, most of which would not consider themselves IoT/M2M or anything else having to do with connectivity...Read More
