Tuesday 27th February, 2024: <\/strong>Global businesses are suffering major financial and human costs from critical IoT connectivity failures with almost two thirds losing sales and customers as a direct result, according to a new report released today by rSIM, the developer of a new intelligent SIM that aims to put an end to the issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">The rapid growth of cellular-based IoT (Internet of Things) devices is set to explode as 5G networks roll out worldwide, with 7 billion expected to be online by 2033. However, this is increasing pressure on network providers and businesses are struggling to cope with the current lack of resilience, with two-thirds stating it has become more business-critical in recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">The survey, which involved respondents from business decision makers in seven regions around the world, found that reliable connectivity is essential for operations in 87% of companies. In fact, connectivity was stated as the number one issue currently faced by businesses in every region, deemed more problematic even than securing and retaining business or staff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">Almost all the businesses in the survey revealed they suffer from some form of connectivity loss every month, with 16% experiencing a network incident every day and 43% at least once a week. The total outage time during a month clocked up to an hour for 60% of the respondents, with more than a third (37%) experiencing even more time offline, and a quarter (25%) saying that they have been hacked due to connectivity issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">Almost 1 in 2 (43%) of those surveyed also said that connectivity problems have caused \u201clife affecting changes\u201d to either staff or the users of their products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">The biggest concern is with the connectivity of IoT devices, which businesses and individuals increasingly rely on for day-to-day tasks. More than 80% of these are deemed either mission, business, or life critical, yet over half of the companies surveyed (58%) revealed they have suffered connectivity problems with their IoT devices (e.g. payment machines and remote patient monitoring devices).<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">The research comes following the launch of a new innovation from rSIM, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsim.com\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #47e35e\">&#8220;always-on connectivity&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/a> solution that could radically improve network connectivity for IoT devices and the mobile internet. The SIM uses a new patented technology to check its own network connectivity and switch providers automatically when disruptions occur, directly from the SIM itself, to maintain connectivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">By storing two mobile operator profiles on one SIM, each tied to distinct operator core network, rSIM reduces the risk of outages by testing data connection every 60 seconds and switching to a backup mobile operator profile if an outage is detected. It offers two levels of resilience, enabling seamless roaming and proactive uninterrupted network access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\"><strong>Richard Cunliffe, Director, rSIM, said: <\/strong>\u201cThe results of the survey did not come as a surprise. Our business lives and breathes connectivity and we understand the pain points that companies experience when they are without it. The incredible growth of IoT devices that we have experienced is putting huge demands on network resilience, and future expansion will be simply impossible with the current levels of reliability provided. The results of the survey back up that view, and the call to arms to do something about it is a challenge we have been delighted to take on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\">\u201cPeople currently accept that mobile connectivity is just not reliable. That is the norm. And that is why the term \u2018critical connectivity\u2019 has come up. In the past, the requirement for always on, real-time data from devices has not always existed; there was a time where businesses could live with bad connectivity. But the more connected the world becomes, the less we can live with the outages we see day to day, and the more critical connectivity becomes to daily life. New solutions are never usually developed until the pain points become bigger and need fixing.\u00a0 So, we have taken it upon ourselves to find a solution\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--black\">To find out more, please take a look at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsim.com\/white-paper\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--black\">white paper here<\/span><\/a><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--black\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--black\">rSIM<em>\u00ae<\/em> is an innovation from CSL Group, a leading\u00a0critical connectivity provider supporting mission, life and business critical IoT applications.
