Craig Price, Senior Vice President of Mobility Products and Marketing, PCCW Global said, “The number of IoT devices globally is running into the billions, all of which continue to amass an immense volume of data that can only be processed in the cloud. By connecting IoT devices directly to the cloud through our Console Connect IoT platform and simply ordering SIMs online, businesses are empowered to unlock insights from their connected devices and manage their network more effectively.”
Due to their small size and technological benefits, cellular IoT SIMs are critically important for the development and deployment of IoT devices.
