The IoT industry is at a turning point.

Fragmentation has exposed deep cracks in connectivity models, while 5G promises speeds that legacy frameworks simply can't handle. However, a solution may lie in rethinking how IoT connections work.

In this episode, Lee Walkey, a seasoned IoT expert, joins Nick Earle to explore the roadblocks and realities of building scalable IoT networks. They discuss:

Why traditional roaming can't support global IoT deployments
How commercial incentives and outdated models hold back progress
The need for a federated approach to achieve out-of-the-box IoT connectivity

Nick and Lee reveal how an airline-style federation of operators, combined with SaaS-based platforms, offers a way forward. They also explore how this shift could change the IoT sector as 5G expands.

Tune in to learn why it's time to move beyond roaming, rethink connectivity, and build the future of IoT.
