segments
By
2025, more than 5 billion cellular Internet of Things (IoT) connections are
forecasted globally, according to the Ericsson Mobility Report. To meet the increasing demand for enterprise IoT
connectivity and simplified acquisition, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today
announced it will now enable the sale of managed connectivity for its CSP
partners, available in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace.
AWS
Marketplace is a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from
independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy
software that runs on AWS. The
one-stop-shop will enable enterprises to meet their IoT needs leveraging
Telenor Connexion as the pioneer global connectivity provider for this new
service.
By bringing global CSPs into the associated marketplaces,
Ericsson is enabling a significant simplification of IoT connectivity. First
out will be Telenor Connexion offering their well-established global
connectivity solution for cellular IoT in AWS Marketplace.
