Disruptive new IoT solution will make it easier
to deploy and manage IoT connections worldwide
What’s the news: Today, T-Mobile and
Deutsche Telekom launched T-IoT, a disruptive new IoT solution
designed to simplify global IoT connectivity for enterprises.
Why it matters: 5G is poised to unleash
the future of IoT—and the time is now for enterprises to embrace
the connected world. There's just one problem. Carriers make global
IoT connectivity REALLY complex.
Who it’s for: Enterprises looking to
transform their business with IoT and prepare their organizations
for the 5G era.
Today, T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Deutsche Telekom AG
(NASDAQ: DTEGY) launched T-IoT, a comprehensive enterprise solution
for global IoT connectivity, platform management and support. With
T-IoT, enterprises have one global team and one global
solution to manage all their connections across borders! And it
will be available across 188 destinations, on 383 networks
worldwide.

“The Un-carrier rewrote the rules of wireless. Now, as America’s
5G leader, with the fastest, largest, and most reliable 5G network,
we’re writing the rules of the 5G era, and we’re doing it in favor
of customers and businesses,” said Mike Katz, President, T-Mobile
Business Group. “With T-IoT and our award-winning networks, we’re
poised to help businesses realize the true potential of IoT by
completely disrupting the status quo of how IoT is purchased and
managed.”
Unleashing the Power of IoT
Despite all the excitement around IoT’s ability to make the
connected world a reality, unlock valuable business insights,
improve customer experience, cut operational costs, and boost
efficiency—many enterprises haven’t fully captured value at scale
from IoT. Why is this still happening in 2022? A major reason is
that Carriers make enterprises jump through hoops to manage IoT
connectivity globally. To deploy multinational IoT connections,
enterprises have to cobble together a patchwork of operator
agreements—all with different contracts, service level agreements,
management interfaces, and customer support.
And 5G promises to take IoT to the next level, with cellular 5G
IoT connections projected to make up 57 percent of all worldwide
cellular IoT connections by 20251. With 5G’s ability to support
low-latency, massive data use, and connect up to 100x more devices
than 4G—enterprises have a HUGE opportunity to embrace new use
cases and actionable data that will make the longstanding vision of
5G IoT a reality.
But the gap between the promise of 5G IoT and reality will be
wide if managing all that connectivity and data remains
unnecessarily complex.
Here’s why: Imagine millions of tracked assets moving across the
globe. To stay connected to those assets, enterprises have to
negotiate numerous contracts with multiple network operators in
different countries and regions, each with its own contract, and
service level agreements. Then, to view and manage those devices,
they navigate a multitude of platforms from various operators. And
for every issue that arises, you can bet there are different
customer care and support teams.
There’s also little flexibility in how enterprises pay for IoT.
Each Carrier has its own payment model which makes it hard for
businesses to effectively scale IoT across the globe. And with 5G,
scaling will be even more important to deliver valuable use cases,
analytics, data insight, and return-on-investment.
Enter T-IoT—a solution optimized for enterprises with global
IoT needs
Today we say “goodbye” to that complex and rigid system because
T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom are coming together to disrupt the
status quo with T-IoT. This one-of-a-kind global offering
exemplifies two words rarely associated with IoT — simple and
flexible.
T-IoT will deliver:
- Worldwide network connectivity spanning the full range of
technologies to support nearly every possible IoT scenario today,
and tomorrow—including NB-IoT, LTE-M, LTE, and 5G.
- A single pane of glass to easily view, and eventually manage
global IoT connections across several platforms, including T-Mobile
Control Center and Deutsche Telekom M2M Service Portal, with T-IoT
Hub.
- A simplified procurement process that includes streamlined
contract and billing, consistent global service level agreements,
and customer support.
- Flexible pricing with a pay-per-data model OR a choice of three
flat-rate unlimited connectivity packages (T-IoT Unlimited Base,
T-IoT Unlimited Premium, and T-IoT Unlimited Pro) across the U.S.
and Europe, as well as value added services to serve connectivity
needs for the lifetime of the device.
"One provider. One solution. That's 'making it simple' taken at
its word," says Hagen Rickmann, Managing Director Business
Customers, Telekom Deutschland. "Many industries, such as
healthcare or automotive, depend on international supply chains.
And their customers today rely on receiving service and assistance
anywhere in the world. We're able to do that with this
transatlantic collaboration, with our networks, for the best
customer experience worldwide."
“With millions of connected Mercedes-Benz vehicles in nearly
every corner of the world today, and up to 20 million connected
cars in our fleet by 2025, we need be able to rely on
telecommunications partners like T-IoT, that offer us global
network coverage and an ecosystem for IoT leadership,” said Ola
Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management, Mercedes-Benz Group
AG. “Real-time, high-bandwidth data transmission is key to digital
innovation. 5G technology in IoT scenarios will allow our vehicles
to communicate with the speed and reliability needed to offer our
customers greater efficiency through improved routing and improved
safety.”
BIOTRONIK, a leading global medical device company based In
Berlin, also relies on seamless connectivity. With their
innovative, first-in-class Home Monitoring solution, many BIOTRONIK
medical devices are connected devices, which help to significantly
increase the quality of lives of millions each year. Patients can
travel without worry as BIOTRONIK works with around 5,000 hospitals
worldwide, which provide care in the event of an emergency at all
times.
"We combine digital medical solutions and state-of-the-art
communication technology. With Home Monitoring, the patient’s vital
data is digitally available to the medical team and are constantly
analyzed. If threshold values are exceeded, the medical team can
react immediately," says Volker Lang, Senior Vice President
Research and Development. "This only works with an absolutely
reliable network that transmits the data reliably at all times. We
are active in over 100 countries. The T-IoT infrastructure is
indispensable for us.”
