"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)."

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.

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.
