Last year we donated our Global IoT SIM Cards to provide global connectivity for a trial of pioneering digital learning programmes for young adults living in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya which is run by the UNHCR, and home to more than 200,000 people.

In an earlier blog we talked about how Smart Cities and IoT are already improving life in many of the world’s cities and discussed how Telecom26’s Global SIMs are at the heart of our IoT Service.

IoT and Connected Cars is a subject dear to the hearts of our team of IoT experts who are focused on optimising connectivity on-land and on-sea.  Some recent research about IoT from analyst firm AIMultiple Five Use Cases of IoT in Automotive in 2022 caught their eye.

Our team of maritime connectivity experts is always tracking the commercial shipping industry and discussing how our global maritime connectivity service helps improve on-board and in-port connectivity.

In our earlier blog Private Networks - Security Issues part 1 our team of IoT experts discussed how private networks are growing rapidly - and are expected to receive more investment than public networks over the next decade.

Telecom26 today announced that its IoT service is helping track down stolen motorbikes in Uganda.

The Global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Market research report was published earlier this month and made interesting reading for the entire Telecom26 team focused on our role as a global connectivity service provider, a full mobile non-terrestrial operator, a maritime MNO - and a full global MVNO for terrestrial coverage.

We recently wrote about private networks at sea and how, as a maritime operator, Telecom26 is now building out mobile private networks at sea for a number of customers as part of our Cellular At Sea service which uses nearshore connectivity when a vessel is hugging the coast.

A recent article in Marine Insight - which provides maritime news and analysis - caught the eyes of our maritime connectivity team.
