About the product

The Cellular IoT Connectivity Tracker is a structured market size and forecast database of worldwide cellular IoT connections, comprising the following technologies: 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G (including a breakdown of private and public 5G connections), 5G RedCap, NB-IoT, and LTE-M.

The tracker includes the number of active connections for the period 2010 to Q2 2024 (quarterly for last 7 years), alongside revenue and ARPU for the period 2010 to 2023 (full years), along with forecasts for cellular IoT connections, by technology type, from Q3 2024 to 2030.

The Cellular IoT Connectivity Tracker is a valuable tool for mobile operators and chipset/module/device makers. It informs strategic IoT service design, enabling new revenue channels, network optimization for growth, and partnerships for emerging IoT markets. It also drives product portfolio development for high-demand IoT technologies.

Definitions

  • IoT Cellular Connections: Active IoT devices that are equipped / embedded with a cellular baseband / chipset with or without a cellular IoT module.
  • Cellular IoT: 2G, 3G and 4G connections
    4G key technologies:

    • Cat 1: LTE Cat 1, also known as Category 1 LTE, is a low-power, low-cost version of 4G LTE technology, which is used in mid-bandwidth IoT application.
    • Cat 1 Bis: LTE Cat 1 bis , also known as Category 1 LTE bis, is a low-power, low-cost version of 4G LTE technology, which is used in LPWA IoT application.
  • 5G IoT: IoT devices and equipped / embedded with 5G cellular baseband / chipset with or without a cellular IoT module.
  • 5G RedCap: Short for ‘Reduced Capability,’ 5G RedCap refers to a 5G NR light technology specified by 3GPP specifications. 5G RedCap devices are equipped with a 5G RedCap baseband/chipset, with or without a cellular IoT module. This technology is designed for IoT applications that require bandwidth between 100 MHz to 400 MHz, latency ranging from 10 to 30 ms, and data rates of up to 10 Mbps for downlink and 5 Mbps for uplink.
  • ARPU: Average revenue per user
