Adds 5G and other LPWA enhancements to Smart
Connectivity service in the US
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), a world leading MVNO
and IoT solutions provider, today announced an expanded agreement
with T-Mobile, the 5G leader, with the largest and fastest
nationwide 5G network in the United States, bolstering its global
Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connectivity offering via its Smart
Connectivity service. The partnership also enables customers in the
United States to access T-Mobile’s multi-band 5G connectivity, as
well as 4G LTE ultra-high data offers for fixed applications that
require high throughput and low latency such as commercial
security/video surveillance, telehealth services, digital vending,
signage and others.
“This agreement with T-Mobile further strengthens Sierra
Wireless’ IoT connectivity offering by combining our purpose-built
IoT network and management tools along with LPWA, 4G LTE and 5G
coverage from T-Mobile’s powerful mobile network,” said Jim Ryan,
Senior Vice President of Partnerships, Marketing & IoT
Solutions, Sierra Wireless. “With the introduction of LPWA in the
United States via our global Smart Connectivity service, customers
in the US can now access LPWA technology and its many benefits such
as wide area coverage, low power usage, and decreased costs, all
via one global SIM on our MVNO network, simplifying design and
logistics, and reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).”
"T-Mobile Wholesale brings our customers solutions delivering
the most advanced 5G network performance and capabilities. This
agreement enables Sierra Wireless customers to access T-Mobile’s
connectivity for any IoT use case demanding low, high or ultra-high
data," said Dan Thygesen, Senior Vice President of T-Mobile
Wholesale. "We can’t wait to see the expanded customer applications
resonate in the marketplace as a result of the new agreement."
Sierra Wireless’ Smart Connectivity service simplifies how
customers connect and manage their deployments whether machines or
other assets are globally or regionally dispersed. With one global
SIM, it reduces operational costs and time-to-market, offers
resilient global coverage, maximizes uptime, and provides seamless
expansion into new markets with access to over 600 partner networks
in over 190 countries. In addition, Sierra Wireless’ 24/7/365
Global Network Operation Center (GNOC) ensures customers experience
the best possible uptime, while making it easy to monitor and
maintain the lifecycle of their SIMs and devices in the field.
All Sierra Wireless devices and IoT Connectivity services are
managed through the AirVantage® platform, which provides a unified
view and full API access and integration capabilities for all
global deployments and subscriptions.
Transforming Connectivity with 5G
5G’s higher data speeds, lower latency, and higher device
capacity are set to transform the IoT market, enabling OEMs,
advanced electronic, and other industrial companies to support
enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable communication and massive
machine-type communication use cases that simply were not possible
without 5G.
LPWA Technology – A Growing Market
While the benefits of LPWA are already clear, according to
research analyst firm Transforma Insights, LPWA IoT connections are
expected to grow to 4 billion in 2030. This comes as more
organizations take advantage of the technological benefits, and the
demand for applications sending smaller data packets and using low
power communications over long distances becomes prevalent.
