Lack of Reliable, Always-On Coverage
Maintaining always-on connectivity coverage should be a starting point for any deployment. Without it, deployments suffer increased downtime, coverage costs go up, and thought-out business plans become far less effective. To overcome this issue, go with a technology partner experienced in IoT deployments.
No Comprehensive Connectivity Management Leading to No Oversight, No Insight
With global cellular connectivity, connecting devices is just the beginning. Once you have deployed the devices, the next most important thing to know is whether the devices and sensors are working properly. However, a key challenge with many IoT processes and tools is the lack or visibility into the devices connectivity information. If your current provider cannot answer these basic connectivity questions, then you might need to rethink your alliance to that provider.
Lack of Support (Pre- and Post-Deployment)
Maximizing global support is becoming a turning point for IoT organizations. Support and troubleshooting for an IoT deployment can consist of several areas of importance, including onboarding and deployment support; help desk assistance; response times; proactive problem notifications; and 24/7 online and automated information services. Support levels can break or make a deal or, in a worse-case scenario, can force customers to switch providers.
