Comarch IoT Connect: A Comprehensive Platform for IoT Solution Providers in Telecoms

The number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing every year. Among the latest artificial intelligence research by IoT-Analytics.com suggested that the market grew by 8% in 2021(to 12.2 billion active connections), with further growth of 18% expected in 2022 (14.4 billion). The figures suggest that this will almost double in the next two years, reaching more than 27 billion IoT devices by 2025 – which will in turn raise demand significantly for IoT connectivity solutions.

In the developed world, we use IoT in telecom every day – and for practically everything else we do, too. Most of us have phones, computers, tablets, smart watches, televisions, games consoles and so on, and these are obviously “connected things”. But we also use IoT devices in our smart homes – managing heating, energy meters, alarms or lighting systems, or even the way our fridges operate. We find them in our smart cars, delivering communal services and transport in smart cities, in medicine… even in the collars of our cats and dogs.

To manage all those devices comprehensively we need an IoT connectivity management platform to consolidate and oversee IoT data, devices, assets, SIMs and telecom IoT business. This is possible thanks to Comarch IoT Connect and its IoT applications, which constitute a platform for the telecom industry and vertical sectors, encompassing:

  • Product Catalog
  • Sales Toolbox
  • Customer Support (My Service)
  • Product Fulfilement
  • Business Intelligence
  • Billing Management
  • Platform Admin (My Admin)

Together, these create a comprehensive IoT connectivity management platform.

Comarch IoT Connect has been implemented by major mobile operators including Sunrise Switzerland, A1 Telekom Austria Group and STC, who chose Comarch solutions from among various IoT connectivity providers.
