The IoT has become an increasingly popular technology in recent years, with the interconnection of physical devices to the internet providing a range of benefits for businesses across many sectors.

This technology has expanded to include everything from heart monitor implants to cars and even smart toasters.

The rise of the IoT has created a need for a reliable network to keep all these devices connected, and BT’s new IoT national roaming network is designed to fulfil that need.

Benefits of BT’s IoT national roaming network for UK businesses

The new network is expected to offer several benefits for businesses.

It provides a cost-effective solution for companies that need to keep their smart devices connected. With the IoT national roaming network, businesses can easily manage their devices on a single platform, streamlining the management process and making it more efficient.

It has the ability to provide reliable connectivity to smart devices, regardless of their location. This is particularly important for businesses such as courier services, where the ability to track and monitor the location of their assets is crucial for successful operations.

The network is also expected to boost innovation in the IoT sector, providing new opportunities for businesses to develop and deploy innovative applications and services.

This is especially relevant in the context of smart cities, where the IoT can be used to improve the efficiency of public services, such as traffic management and waste collection.

According to BT, the new IoT national roaming network is a significant step towards the creation of a unified IoT ecosystem, which will enable businesses to access a wide range of services and applications.

This will also help to overcome the fragmentation that currently exists in the IoT market, which can make it challenging for businesses to deploy and manage IoT devices effectively.

The new network is available to all businesses and organisations across the UK, providing nationwide coverage and enabling devices to roam across different cellular networks.
